Council moves to declare 416 North Merchant Street dangerous and unsafe
Summary
Building official recommended declaring 416 North Merchant Street dilapidated and unsafe due to roof and foundation holes and animal intrusion; council agreed the property should be addressed and formal action will follow.
The building official presented photographs and a visual inspection report recommending that 416 North Merchant Street be declared dangerous and unsafe under Resolution No. 1062025. The official cited holes in the roof and foundation and anecdotal reports of raccoon activity in the crawl space.
