Unsafe Building Commission affirms emergency demolition for 210 North 11th Street
Summary
The Unsafe Building Commission voted Jan. 20 to affirm emergency-demolition findings for 210 North 11th Street after staff presented photographs, a Dec. 8 law-department vacate notice and evidence of severe structural decay and habitability concerns.
The Unsafe Building Commission on Jan. 20 affirmed emergency-demolition findings for the property at 210 North 11th Street after staff presented photographs and a law-department vacate notice documenting extensive deterioration.
An unidentified presenter told the commission the property 'has been an eyesore for over a decade' and reported that the site 'hasn't had electric since 08/23/2019' and that Indiana American Water Company staff could not locate recent water-service records. The presenter described missing windows, bowed and sinking walls, roof shingles that had 'basically disintegrated,' foundation issues, deteriorated steps and visible mold, and said vegetation was overgrown around the building.
The presenter showed a law-department letter dated Dec. 8 declaring the structure unfit for human habitation and displayed 'after' photos the presenter said showed a contractor identified as B and B had demolished parts of the property. The presenter asked the commission to 'make a motion for the emergency demolition of 210 North 11th Street.'
An unidentified commissioner moved to affirm the emergency action taken by enforcement authorities; another member seconded the motion. The commission approved the findings by voice vote, and the chair announced, 'Motion carried.' The transcript does not record a roll-call tally; the chair announced the outcome by voice.
The commission took no additional actions recorded in the transcript. The meeting adjourned after the vote.
