On Oct. 30 the Hammond City board considered status reports and follow-up actions for a set of long-standing code-enforcement properties. Staff summarized inspection results and proposed next steps for owners or contractors.

1047 Moss: Building, electrical and mechanical inspections show progress; plumbing permit recently pulled. Staff recommended rescinding prior board order provided the owner pays associated costs; inspections staff said final work expected within roughly 30 days.

1476 Shell: Finals completed and property in compliance; staff recommended rescinding prior order once costs are paid.

1563/170 Seventh Place (Chris Rowe property): Significant progress reported across framing, electrical, plumbing and mechanical; inspections staff expected completion in 30–45 days and recommended resending the order pending payment of costs.

1933 Maiden Lane: Longstanding property with civil-law history; inspections show good exterior progress and completed plumbing final; staff requested an order to appear (30 days) to inspect interior progress and set status for Dec. 4.

1728 Stanton: Property was sold to a contractor/rehabber; staff recommended dismissing the prior demolition order and taking no further action while rehab proceeds.

6126 Harrison: Work has seen plumbing and mechanical inspections pass; building inspections held at insulation; staff requested a 30-day order to appear and set status for Dec. 4.

Why it matters: The board’s actions affect property owners’ obligations, potential demolitions, and neighborhood conditions. In several cases staff tied rescission or resending of orders to payment of costs or completion of inspections.

Board action: The board recommended rescinding or resending orders where appropriate, set multiple status dates (including Dec. 4), and dismissed a demolition order for 1728 Stanton after sale to a rehabber.
