Board finds 1741 Anderson St. a public nuisance, orders demolition or appeal within 30 days
Summary
The board found the property at 1741 Anderson Street a public nuisance and ordered the owner to demolish or appeal to district court within 30 days after staff reported persistent dilapidation and prior lienholder notification; no public speakers opposed the recommendation.
The Abilene Board of Building Standards voted May 6 to find the property at 1741 Anderson Street a public nuisance and ordered the owner to demolish the structure or appeal the order to district court within 30 days.
Ricky Wright presented the staff report for case 25-001890, saying utilities had been inactive since March 4, 2023, and the property shows exterior dilapidation. Wright said notifications had been made to a lienholder and that repair would be unreasonable; staff recommended demolition. No owner or public speaker appeared at the hearing.
On the board floor, Allred moved to accept staff’s recommendation and Tankersley seconded. The board conducted a roll call; the motion passed and the board ordered demolition or appeal within 30 days.
