Council declares 422 South Main Street a dangerous building
Summary
The Portales City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-29 declaring 422 South Main Street a dangerous property, citing a partially collapsed roof and the property’s high danger score in staff reviews.
Portales City Council adopted Resolution 2026-29 on July 21, 2026, declaring the property at 422 South Main Street a dangerous building following a presentation by Community Services Director McClellan. McClellan told the council the property ranked on staff’s hazard list and “has a partially collapsed roof,” and she described the scoring process used by planning and zoning to prioritize properties for action.
Under the proposed resolution the owner would be given up to 30 days to show substantial improvement and up to 90 days total to abate the hazard; McClellan said owners may appeal the declaration to the council and then to district court if necessary. Councilor Self moved to adopt the resolution, Councilor DeWitt seconded, and the motion passed by unanimous roll call. Staff noted that if required abatement work is performed by the city, costs could be placed as a lien on the property.
