Council tables two demolition orders for 90 days after owners respond
Summary
The council deferred decisions on demolition orders for 3620 23rd Street and 3209 7th Street, tabling both items for 90 days after owners or staff addressed the council; the orders cited 47 and 46 housing-code violations respectively.
The Tuscaloosa City Council voted to table demolition orders for two condemned properties — 3620 23rd Street and 3209 7th Street — for 90 days.
City staff (Mister Williams, S8) presented the first item, saying the property at 3620 23rd Street was condemned on 10/06/2025 and listed with 47 housing-code violations. The owner, PCS O'Neil (S9), came forward and identified themselves. Council member (S3) moved to table the matter for 90 days; Council member (S4) seconded and the council voted to table the demolition.
The clerk (S7) then introduced the condemnation order for 3209 7th Street, condemned 12/08/2023, with 46 housing-code violations. The owner was not present. After a short exchange about the prior recommendation, a motion to table for 90 days was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.
In both cases the record notes that if the properties are condemned and demolished, demolition costs will be charged back to the owner. No formal hearing testimony opposing the demolitions was recorded at the meeting. The items were set for 90-day review rather than immediate demolition.
Next steps: the council tabled the items for 90 days; staff indicated owners had been notified and that demolition costs would be assessed if work proceeds.
