Burden council sets June hearing to consider condemning three Main Street buildings
Summary
The Burden City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-03 and set a June 23 hearing to allow owners, lienholders and occupants of 423, 425 and 427 N. Main to show cause why the properties should not be condemned and demolished, citing nuisance and safety concerns under city code.
The Burden City Council on April 28 adopted Resolution No. 2025-03 to set a hearing on whether three buildings at 423, 425 and 427 N. Main should be condemned and demolished.
City Attorney Josh Albin told the council the properties are “considered a nuisance under the City Code and are unsafe properties,” and that the resolution sets a hearing date to let owners, their agents, any lienholders of record and any occupants appear and show cause why demolition should not proceed. The council voted to adopt the resolution, set the hearing for June 23, 2025 at 7:30 PM, and directed publication in the official city newspaper. Sherrie Conklin made the motion and Taylor Dory seconded; the motion passed 4-0.
The hearing gives affected parties a formal opportunity to present information to the governing body before any condemnation or demolition order is issued. Attorney Albin presented the resolution language and asked the council to set a time; the notice and hearing procedure were described as part of the resolution.
No timeline for potential demolition was included in the council action; the resolution establishes the hearing as the next procedural step. The council did not take other enforcement actions at the meeting and recorded no immediate appeals or stays tied to the resolution. The hearing is scheduled for June 23, 2025 at 7:30 PM at City Hall, 401 N. Main, Burden.
