Commissioners authorize lawsuit if Rodman property unresolved; code enforcement updates multiple nuisance cases

May 11, 2026

DeKalb County commissioners set a June 1 deadline for remediation or sale activity on the long-running Rodman nuisance property and authorized staff to proceed with a lawsuit if conditions have not improved. Staff also reported progress and ongoing concerns on Mason, Slinger and Albright properties and discussed vehicle-registration and VIN-defacement issues.

The full story

County code enforcement staff provided a detailed update on multiple nuisance properties and asked for direction on the long-running Rodman parcel, which was placed on the market but remained unsold after more than 120 days. Staff recommended waiting through the realtor period and reassessing June 1; commissioners voted to authorize filing suit if the property is not brought into compliance by that date.
