Summary
After Community Services described severe fire damage and trespass risk, the council passed Resolution 2026-30 declaring 705 West 17th Street dangerous; Councilor Smith recused from this item for a potential conflict of interest.
The City Council approved Resolution 2026-30 on July 21, 2026, declaring the property at 705 West 17th Street dangerous. Community Services Director McClellan explained the property comprises two buildings with severe fire damage and open access, and she answered council questions about abatement and the appeal process.
Councilor Smith announced a potential conflict and recused herself from deliberation and the vote.

Staff said, as with the other dangerous-property resolutions, the owner will have statutory notice, cure windows, and the city may abate and lien costs if necessary.
