Public officer affirms boarding actions and charges for three Knoxville properties
Summary
The public officer approved boarding actions and affirmed charges for 821 Atlantic Avenue, 1237 (transcript: Bridal/Iradell) and 2903 Scottish Pike. One agenda item (3030 Woodbine Avenue) was postponed at the owner's request. The approvals were routine confirmations of corrective actions taken by the city's public service department.
The City of Knoxville public officer affirmed boarding actions and related charges taken by the Public Service Department for three vacant structures during the Oct. 31 hearing.
Nicholas Bradshaw approved boarding and affirmed charges for 821 Atlantic Avenue, which staff reported was boarded in July 2024 because the building was open and accessible and presented an attractive nuisance and hazard to children and the public.
Bradshaw also approved boarding charges for a property listed in the agenda as 1237 Bridal Avenue; staff later referred to the same property as 1237 Iradell Avenue in the hearing. The transcript contains that inconsistent street-name reference; the public officer approved the boarding action and affirmed the related charges.
Finally, Bradshaw affirmed boarding charges for 2903 Scottish Pike, which staff reported was boarded on Sept. 25; he cited similar concerns that the buildings were open, accessible and dangerous and injurious to public health and safety.
Bradshaw noted that 3030 Woodbine Avenue had been on the agenda but the owner requested and was granted a postponement to the next meeting. No public testimony was recorded on any of the boarding items, and the approvals were taken by the public officer as routine enforcement confirmations.
