Board accepts code‑enforcement report; denies appeal and places $250 fine on repeat violator
Summary
Code enforcement reported inspections and enforcement activity; the board denied an appeal for 113 West Miami Avenue and placed a $250 fine on 1427 Usher Street for recurring trash and debris violations.
The Logansport City Board of Public Works and Safety accepted the weekly code‑enforcement report and took two enforcement actions on properties with multiple violations.
Randy, the code‑enforcement official, told the board: "Last week, we sent out 8 notices for trash. We got 15 or 16 that were cleared. So I had 27 pending. We did 4 citations or notices to appear... We tagged 2 cars last week. We wrote 3 citations. We had 5 that got removed by the owners, and then we had 3 that were towed, and we still have 16 pending... and we did 76 inspections." The board voted to accept the weekly report.
On property actions, the board asked whether anyone was present to represent 113 West Miami Avenue; no one appeared. Staff reported the owner had called about an appeal but did not appear; the board voted to deny the appeal. For 1427 Usher Street staff reported repeated trash and debris violations, new tenants on site and no contact with the owner; the board voted to place a $250 fine to prompt compliance.
What happens next: staff will schedule cleanups or enforcement steps as needed and will monitor responses to the fine. The meeting record did not specify follow‑up dates for the two properties.
