Hueytown council declares more than a dozen properties public nuisances, approves cleanups

Hueytown City Council unanimously adopted a series of resolutions on June 9 declaring multiple properties a public nuisance and authorizing enforcement actions. Council Member Randall moved for each nuisance resolution and Council Member Jacks seconded; President Hurliman and all council members voted in favor.

The resolutions (including Nos. 7429, 7430, 7431, 7432, 7433, 7434, 7435, 7436, 7437, 7438 and Nos. 7448–7451) name specific addresses where weeds, trash and/or inoperable vehicles were identified and direct the city to treat those properties as public nuisances. Council did not record any opposing votes during the roll-call approvals.

The actions target residential properties across Hueytown and, in at least one instance, an address listed in Dolomite (Resolution 7448). Council members did not elaborate on individual remediation timelines during the meeting; the motions were formal declarations authorizing standard nuisance enforcement processes.

Why it matters: nuisance declarations start the city’s legal and administrative steps to require property owners to clear hazards, and they can lead to fines or city abatement if owners do not comply. Residents raised related neighborhood concerns later during the public-comment period, including an unresolved parking and inoperable-vehicle notice from a resident.

What happens next: the council’s unanimous votes empower staff to proceed with enforcement under Hueytown’s existing code enforcement procedures; the meeting record does not specify individual abatement deadlines or costs.
