Summary

Code-enforcement staff told the council it recommended giving two properties — 3620 23rd Street and 3209 7th Street — an additional 90 days to finish exterior repairs; staff described progress at both sites and identified the 7th Street owner as doing much of the work himself and self-funding repairs.

Code-enforcement staff recommended the council allow two previously tabled cases additional time to finish exterior repairs.

Virgil reported that 3620 23rd Street has begun visible repairs, including sidewall work and restoration of areas damaged by fire; he recommended a 90-day extension to allow further progress. He also described 3209 7th Street as “getting close,” noting the owner, identified in the transcript as Gaffrey Bogues, has largely been performing and funding the work himself and that a remaining section of roof and some window and painting work remain.

Virgil said staff had discussed the 90-day timeline with the owner and expected that the exterior work would be finished within that period; he presented the recommendation as a staff recommendation rather than as a final council action in the provided portion of the record.

Next steps: the transcript records the staff recommendation for a 90-day extension; the excerpt does not include a final vote or formal order on these cases.
