Summary

The Early City Council placed several parcels on a nuisance‑abatement list for disrepair, junk and disabled vehicles and directed the city clerk to consult the City Attorney on enforcement; owners will be given 30 days to abate violations.

City Clerk Lexi Bainbridge told the Early City Council on May 10, 2022, that several properties had been placed on a nuisance‑abatement list for issues including structural disrepair, accumulation of miscellaneous “junk” and disabled vehicles.

Bainbridge said letters will be sent to owners giving them 30 days from the date of the letter to abate the nuisance. She told the council these matters are municipal infractions under the Early Code of Ordinances and that she will consult the City Attorney on enforcement options, which could include requiring removal of unauthorized work or demolition of structures done without required permits.

The council recorded the parcel numbers for the affected properties and directed the clerk to report back with recommendations at the next meeting. The minutes list the affected parcels by parcel number (see clarifying details).
