Staff outlines minimum‑housing enforcement updates; several properties face demolition orders
Summary
Staff presented a clarified minimum‑housing workflow and reported recent enforcement actions: a 90‑day repair extension at an Avon Avenue property and 30‑day demolition orders (or 90‑day orders) for several addresses; staff said any demolition will require a budget amendment.
City project management staff presented a simplified flowchart and checklist for the minimum‑housing process intended to make enforcement steps and dates more accessible to council and the public.
Staff said work in October included four public hearings. The transcript cited these recent administrative outcomes: a 90‑day repair extension for a property on Avon Avenue, a 30‑day demolition order for a property on South Ireland, a 90‑day demolition order for 121 Jefferson Street, and a 30‑day demolition order for 1115 Shaw Street. Staff emphasized that demolition work would require a budget amendment because demolition funds are not appropriated in the current budget.
Council thanked staff for simplifying the process and asked that demolition items be returned on the consent agenda with clear funding requests if necessary. No demolition contracts or votes were taken at the meeting; staff said forthcoming agenda items will include any budget amendments needed to proceed.
