Red Bank staff seek up to $15,000 to clean and lien property at Dayton Boulevard after court ratification
Summary
City staff presented a resolution authorizing up to $15,000 from general funds to abate hazardous conditions at a Dayton Boulevard property and to place liens against FSTR/FSCR Holdings LLC; staff noted a prior Hamilton County General Sessions Court judgment capped fines at $25,000 but estimated cleanup will be $15,000 or less.
Building official Eddie Clinton presented a resolution authorizing the expenditure of up to $15,000 from general funds to remediate hazardous and unsightly conditions at the property listed in the packet (Dayton Boulevard, entry varied between 1080 and 1083 in discussion). Clinton said code enforcement followed required municipal steps (inspections, notices and administrative hearings) and that the property owner (packet names FSTR/FSCR Holdings LLC) did not comply.
Staff explained the Hamilton County General Sessions Court ratified the administrative hearing officer’s findings and set a judgment cap of $25,000 based on accrued daily fines (an example figure of $500/day for commercial noncompliance was cited). Staff said their cleanup estimate is $15,000 or less; the resolution would allow the city to remove debris and place a lien for recovery of enforcement expenditures. If costs exceed the authorized amount, staff said they would return to the commission for additional funds.
Commissioners thanked staff for pursuing the matter and noted the cleanup will improve the city gateway. The packet referenced resolution number 26‑1869 for formal authorization.
