Waukesha board gives property owner two months to sell or demolish house on Genesee Road
Summary
The Village of Waukesha Board granted a two-month extension to the owners of 2699 Genesee Road to either sell the property to a rehabber or obtain permits to demolish it, setting a compliance deadline of Nov. 20, 2025.
The Village of Waukesha Board on Sept. 25 granted property owners a two-month extension to bring the house at 2699 Genesee Road into compliance, setting a Nov. 20, 2025 deadline.
The extension followed testimony from property representatives who said they are pursuing a possible sale to a house-rehabilitation investor but will demolish the structure if a sale does not materialize. Marciar Mesa, who identified herself before the board, said she and an associate were “waiting to get a phone call from a company, home investors, to see if they would buy the property. If that's not the case, then we decided to knock it down or to demolish it.”
Board members said the village has worked with the owners and that further extensions were unlikely beyond Nov. 20. Trustee Al moved to give the owners two months; Bob Sigler, president of the Village of Waukesha Board, seconded the motion and it carried. The board told the owners the village would likely begin citation enforcement if the property remained out of compliance after the deadline.
During discussion, owners and the board addressed logistics for demolition if needed: the owners noted they must secure demolition permits and coordinate with utilities and the fire department before proceeding. Janine Flores, who said she was with the owners, said partners had inspected the property and were meeting to decide whether to make an offer; the owners asked for time to await that decision.
Board members asked whether demolition could be completed within the extension period if sale efforts failed. The owners said they believed the work could be done within the two months if they retained the property and obtained necessary permits. The board advised the owners to keep village staff — specifically Jared in the clerk's office — informed of progress.
The board set a compliance deadline of Nov. 20, 2025, and noted that citations would likely begin after that date if the property remained noncompliant. The owners were told they need not attend future meetings if the matter is resolved, but the board requested updates to staff if action is taken.
