Resident urges Hillman Council to enforce codes after complaints about derelict properties
Summary
A resident renewed complaints about two Village houses with visible refuse and several nonrunning vehicles (one property with five nonrunning cars and about 40 tires) and asked the council to enforce code and address a mold‑filled, uninhabitable house on Second Street; the minutes record the complaint but no enforcement action was taken at the meeting.
Doug Morrison told the Village of Hillman Council Tuesday that continuing blight on at least two properties is harming the village’s appearance and habitability and urged the council to take enforcement action.
Morrison said one property has five nonrunning cars and about 40 tires visible from the street and that another Second Street house is "full of mold and uninhabitable." He said he previously reported the issues to the council and that he sees no resolution to date.
The minutes record the complaint but do not show any council direction, inspection order, or motion to pursue code enforcement during the meeting. Manager Dave Post and other officials did not record a specific follow‑up in the minutes. The record indicates residents have raised similar concerns in earlier contacts with the council but provides no timeline or next steps for remediation.
The meeting’s minutes capture the complaint as part of public comment; they do not state whether any written code violations exist or whether citations have been issued. The council did not vote or instruct staff on a formal enforcement action in the recorded minutes.
