Council authorizes demolition of vacant, storm‑damaged house at 822 Second Street
Summary
Inspections staff said the house at 822 Second Street suffered severe damage from a fallen tree and owners did not respond to statutory notices; council unanimously adopted Ordinance 26-10 to allow demolition.
The City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 26-10 on Feb. 10 to authorize demolition of the severely damaged and vacant dwelling at 822 Second Street.
Clint Houser, director of inspections and codes, told council that the structure suffered severe disrepair after a tree fell on it, that staff had provided repeated statutory notice (certified mail and posted signage) and that the Order to Repair expired on Feb. 8 with no response or permit activity. Houser confirmed that no one is living in the house. Councilmember Shearra Miller moved to adopt the ordinance; Councilmember Jay Rhodes seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The ordinance allows the Code Enforcement Officer to proceed with demolition under the City’s statutory enforcement procedures; the minutes do not record any owner representation or a request for additional time for this property.
