Bloomington to seek inspection and repairs for dilapidated house at 524 Canal Street
Summary
Complaints about a deteriorating house at 524 Canal Street prompted the board to direct the building inspector to examine the property and issue correction notices; the owner will be contacted and a late-spring deadline for repairs was suggested.
Village President Robert McLimans told the board Jan. 5 that complaints had been received about a house at 524 Canal Street with missing garage doors and a failing front porch that may violate Village Ordinance Chapter 705 on unsafe buildings. The board discussed the visible hazards and agreed the building inspector should examine the property and issue correction notices with a late-spring deadline for repairs.
Chief Small said he knew the owner, identified in the transcript as Larry Bedtka of Prairie, and said he could contact him to facilitate compliance. Board members noted safety concerns about the front porch and supported inspector-led corrective steps rather than immediate emergency action at the meeting.
No formal enforcement action (fine or condemnation) was recorded at the Jan. 5 meeting; the board’s direction initiated an inspection and corrective-notice process under the village ordinance.
