City staff asks council to condemn four derelict properties including 3306 27th Street
Summary
City code-enforcement staff told the council it would seek condemnation of four properties—3306 27th Street, 3326 Beck Street and two Moody Street properties—citing squatters, inadequate repairs and voluntary condemnations; staff said Moody Street properties will not be contested.
City staff recommended the Tuscaloosa City Council authorize condemnation proceedings for four deteriorated properties on the agenda, citing safety and code violations.
Staff told the council that 3306 27th Street had been reported by police to contain a squatter and was in condemned condition. The same presenter said the city would likely move forward with a formal condemnation vote for that address.
On 3326 Beck Street, staff said a permit was pulled about 45 days after the property was posted but that the only work visible was two small pieces of wood and one piece of cornice; the presenter said the property remains unboarded and uncleared despite the permit.
The presenter said two adjacent properties at 3233 and 3235 Moody Street are voluntary condemnations and will not be contested by the owner; staff characterized those cases as straightforward and expected quick processing.
The council did not record a final vote on the items during the discussion recorded in the transcript; staff presented the properties for action on the consent or project agenda and indicated the items would be on the council docket for formal action.
