Council reviews code-enforcement cases; pauses demolition to allow outreach
Summary
Council heard code-enforcement reports, found several properties resolved, and approved a 30-day pause on demolition proceedings at 230 Lemus Street to allow outreach to the property owner; a 60-day extension for 223 Keller Avenue passed 4–3.
Code enforcement staff presented a docket of cases on July 28. Several properties were reported as resolved after plans or actions; others remain in violation. The council voted to give a 30-day pause on a demolition action at 230 Lemus Street to allow Councilman Marshall to contact the family and explore alternatives; the vote passed with five in favor and one opposed (one member out of the room). The council also granted a 60-day extension for 223 Keller Avenue on a 4–3 vote.
Staff noted some cases have long histories; for instance, photos in the record date to 2021 for one parcel and staff reported limited communication with owners on multiple properties. Code enforcement indicated the city is starting the demolition process for a property whose roof and floors have collapsed but that council had discretion to pause actions for additional outreach.
