Commission directs staff to proceed with abatement process for 404 Harrison
Summary
After staff reported repeated problems and involvement of Adult Protective Services, the commission voted to continue the city's process to declare 404 Harrison unfit for occupancy and to proceed with posting and invitation for bid for remediation; commissioners expressed reluctance but support to move forward.
City staff updated the commission on follow‑up to Resolution 2025‑20 concerning an unfit structure at 404 Harrison. Staff reported recent events, noted Adult Protective Services had been involved and the resident’s husband was no longer in the home, and said the city reached the 60‑day window on enforcement actions.
Staff recommended continuing the city’s established abatement process, which includes posting the property to bar occupancy and proceeding to an invitation for bids to rehabilitate or remove the structure if the property owner does not act. Mayor Jason Showalter said commissioners did not feel good about the outcome but agreed the city must proceed to prevent ongoing community impacts and hazards.
The commission moved to proceed with the code enforcement process for 404 Harrison; the motion passed on a roll‑call with affirmative votes from the commissioners present. Staff will post the property and proceed with the next steps in the city's abatement schedule.
Next steps: staff to post the property, begin the invitation for bid process and return with updates as required by the abatement procedure.
