New owner at 1270 Kennard asks for more time; lien-amnesty review continued to Aug. 27
Summary
Dawn Sullivan, new owner of 1270 Kennard Street, told the magistrate she cannot afford the liens as currently assessed and requested more time and documentation; the magistrate continued the lien-amnesty application to August 27, 2025 for the owner to provide property-value and payment-plan information.
The magistrate continued the lien-amnesty application for 1270 Kennard Street to the August 27, 2025 special-magistrate hearing after the new owner, Dawn Sullivan, said she could not afford the assessed liens and asked for relief or a payment plan.
Staff reviewed multiple prior nuisance and lien cases stretching back to 2017 and presented an aggregated staff-recommended reduction that would leave a residual lien amount the city expects paid within 15 business days if adopted. Dawn Sullivan said the property is worth roughly $34,000 and described financial hardship; staff and the magistrate discussed payment-plan options (typically up to 36 months in exceptional circumstances) and requested documentation of property value, taxes paid, and ability to pay. The magistrate advised the owner to work with the staff representative (Barbara) and continued the matter to August 27 to permit submission of documents and discussion of a feasible payment plan.
