Staff reports intent to condemn fire-damaged property at 9512 Margo Road; new owners reportedly consent
Summary
City building official reported a fire-damaged structure at a property identified in the staff report as 9512 Margo Road (also referenced as 512 Largo Road East); owners are selling and the new owners have agreed to allow condemnation and removal, including an accessory structure in the rear.
Virgil, a city department staff member, reported to the council on April 15 that the city has inspected a fire-damaged property identified in the staff report as 9512 Margo Road. In related remarks the location was also referenced as 512 Largo Road East during the discussion; staff noted photographic evidence showing the extent of the damage.
Virgil said the owners are selling the property and that the prospective new owners agree to allow the city to proceed with condemnation. "They'll have time to tear it down themselves if they so decide," Virgil said. He added that an accessory structure in the rear of the lot will also be torn down as part of the action.
A resident who identified themself as the caller said they reported the condition and confirmed which side of the property they observed. Staff noted that the building appears in the photos from different vantage points and is located next to a business referenced in the meeting as Stephanie's Floors.
No formal condemnation vote or timeline for demolition appeared in the excerpted transcript; staff presented the matter as an item for the council's awareness and potential action on the agenda.
Why it matters: condemned structures present public-safety risks and can affect neighboring commercial and residential properties; the transcript indicates the city intends to proceed, subject to administrative procedures and the new owners' decisions.
