Council signs petition to begin condemnation process for fire-damaged building at 321 S Baltimore
Summary
City staff reported the building at 321 S Baltimore, damaged by a late-2024 fire, changed ownership and is being restored; Council signed a petition to begin condemnation so a timeline for improvements can be established and maintained.
City Administrator Dean Cordes told Council that the property at 321 S Baltimore, which caught fire in late 2024, has a new owner who is working to restore the building. Cordes presented a petition to begin the condemnation process so the city can establish and enforce a timeline for improvements.
Council signed the petition at the meeting and Cordes will follow up on next steps. The action is procedural: initiating condemnation is intended to secure a schedule for repairs rather than immediate demolition, according to Cordes's presentation to Council.
