Council grants 30-day extension for repairs at dangerous building on 78 Rose Ave
Summary
Swisher staff updated the council on a dangerous-building order for 78 Rose Avenue and the council voted to extend the compliance deadline 30 days (from Nov. 5 to Dec. 5) while monitoring progress and expecting a building-permit filing with Johnson County.
Staff told the council that the dangerous-building order for 78 Rose Avenue was approaching a 90-day compliance deadline set for Nov. 5 and that Johnson County handles the permits for demolition and major work. The property owner told staff he planned to file a Johnson County permit the following day; staff said the county forwards applications promptly and that evidence of an application would signal proactivity.
Council members discussed feasibility and the timeline for completing repairs before the deadline. Several members said they would be willing to grant a 30-day extension if they could observe progress; one councilor moved to extend the deadline 30 days. Council voted in favor of the extension and directed staff to track permit filings and visible progress. Council also reiterated that a permit is required for demolition and that the county inspects such work.
