Board approves $49,393 in trash-abatement liens on 98 properties
Summary
The City of Indianapolis Board of Business and Neighborhood Services voted to authorize liens totaling $49,393.15 for unpaid city trash, junk and debris abatement costs tied to 98 cases under resolution 2025C10018.
The City of Indianapolis Board of Business and Neighborhood Services on July 1 authorized placement of liens on properties to recover unpaid trash, junk and debris abatement costs.
The board approved resolution 2025C10018 after staff presented the certification. Carly (staff member, Department of Business and Neighborhood Services) told the board, “For resolution number 2025C10018, this trash lien certification represents 98 trash violation cases with a total amount owed of $49,393.15.”
Under Chapter 365 of the consolidated city code, the department inspects, abates and enforces environmental public nuisances; when property owners fail to correct violations, the city hires contractors to abate the nuisances and may place liens on properties to recover cleanup costs. Carly said the cases reflected fees 30 days past due as of July 1, 2025.
There were no questions from board members before a motion to approve the resolution. The board voted by voice; the presiding officer announced the motion carried.
Board members approved the minutes from the May 29 meeting earlier in the session and then took up the lien certification as part of routine business. No additional conditions or amendments to the resolution were recorded at the meeting.
The board’s formal written records will reflect the resolution number (2025C10018) and the staff certification of the 98 cases and the total amount due.
