Irving code enforcement sets extended deadline after buyer seeks time to enforce judgment on dilapidated property
Summary
The commission accepted staff findings that a property is dilapidated but set a later repair/demolition deadline after a potential buyer told commissioners he is pursuing enforcement of a court judgment to purchase and renovate the home.
The Irving Building Standards Commission on June 2 heard staff testimony that a residential property is dilapidated, unfit for habitation and constitutes an urban nuisance, then amended enforcement dates to allow additional time for potential purchase and renovation.
Code enforcement staff told the commission the property showed conditions that can endanger life and welfare, citing accumulations of refuse and damage from fire, vandalism or natural elements in their presentation. Staff recommended inspections and ordered repairs or demolition, with an initial schedule that would have allowed city contractors to demolish the structure and assess civil penalties for missed deadlines.
