Summary

Staff and inspectors reported interior work at 2104 Sherman, including drywall and painting since the December inspection; owner Mr. Fentress (remote) said the contractor expects to finish in about a month and the board scheduled a status check for May 7, 2026.

The board reviewed the status of 2104 Sherman and set a 60-day status hearing for May 7, 2026, after staff and inspectors reported visible progress.

Staff said interior inspections showed rough electric and rough plumbing have passed, graffiti was removed, and a previously removed door had been repaired. An inspector and another staff member reported seeing a painter and evidence of new drywall in rooms that lacked it in December, indicating progress. The owner, Mr. Fentress, appeared remotely and said the contractor estimated completion "within a month," and the board agreed to set the matter for status on 05/07/2026.

The board asked the owner to return on that date with a status update; this sets a formal check on the rehabilitation timeline rather than closing the file immediately.
