The Hammond City Board of Works reviewed several property-enforcement and rehabilitation matters and set follow-up status dates.

For 51 Webb, staff told the board a demolition inspection was scheduled for Friday at noon and photographs would document interior conditions to inform a rehab agreement; owner Mister Sorey (president of Bridal Group Investors Inc.) said he intends to prioritize rehab and the board set a status date of Dec. 18, 2025 to review progress.

At 913 Bauer (also referenced as 911/913 Bauer in the record), the board discussed a contract award for removal of personal property and debris. Contractor Toro Junk Removal (Ben Peralta) intends to start work once weather improves, will use heavy equipment and place a dumpster on adjoining city-owned property with economic-development approval; staff emphasized protecting an evergreen and a brick pathway. The board set the matter for status on Dec. 18, 2025.

Staff reported on 6126 Harrison: final inspections (plumbing, mechanical) have passed and remaining items (handrails, siding) would be addressed within about a week; the board scheduled a two-week status check. Owner/representative Mister Carlson (on Zoom) acknowledged outstanding items and requested information on associated costs to rescind the demo order.

On 1933 Maiden Lane, owner Lorenzo Dimas said interior work is advancing (hardwood floors, kitchen island, cabinets) but weather and fixture lead times delayed final completion; the board set a status date for Feb. 12, 2026.

Board members emphasized the need for owners and contractors to contact city staff immediately if issues arise before the scheduled follow-ups; several status dates were recorded by motion and unanimous voice vote.
