Code enforcement reports activity; board orders fines for two properties

Code Enforcement Officer Randy reported to the Logansport Board of Works and Safety on Jan. 29 that his office issued 17 new trash-violation notices last week and that 12 of those had been cleared.

Randy told the board that officers issued four citations and four notices to appear related to specific addresses (907 North, 15207 High, 4301 Schultz, and 304306 West Broadway in the transcript) and that six more vehicles were tagged last week with three cleared from previous weeks and two pending. The weekly report was approved by the board.

Randy then presented unresolved property cases. No representative appeared for 400 Howard Street; Randy said the property owner had been scheduled to appear previously and had not shown and that ‘‘at this point, we need to just place a fine.’’ The board voted to continue with the fine and to deny an appeal. For 1366 West Miami Avenue, Randy said the property owner called and indicated repairs were planned but had not appeared; weather (frozen conditions) had delayed cleanup. The board voted to deny the appeal and to proceed with cleanup/fine actions as appropriate.

Ending: The board’s actions place fines and move two unresolved properties into enforcement steps; the code enforcement office will proceed with cleanup actions or further departmental coordination as needed.
