Council approves resolution to demolish four dilapidated structures
Summary
Council adopted a resolution authorizing removal or demolition of four structures found to be in dangerous or severely dilapidated condition; staff described each property and next steps under nuisance/condemnation procedures.
The Roswell City Council voted to adopt a resolution authorizing removal or demolition of four dilapidated structures identified by city staff.
Staff presented details for each property: 606 North Garden (a small burned building in an alley; the new owner had boarded it up but work was needed), 1311 ½ Fort Montana (a burned structure with ongoing municipal-court code enforcement and an owner living in an RV), 23 North Chartell (a problematic mobile home with trespass and nuisance reports), and 1/10 South Kansas (reported electrical cord across an alley and transient activity). The properties had been reviewed by the public safety committee, which forwarded the item with a 4–0 recommendation.
City staff said the condemnation and demolition process follows state law and local ordinances: the property owner of record is noticed, given time to cure code violations or complete repairs, and if the owner fails to act the city may exercise authority to abate the nuisance and place costs as liens against the property. The council moved to adopt the resolution and approved it by voice vote; no recorded roll-call votes were taken in the transcript.
Ending: Staff will proceed with the condemnation notification process and present a formal resolution directing the required actions under the city’s code and state procedures.
