Summary

The board found 5502 North 9th Street a public nuisance after staff said the owner is deceased and no heirs have come forward; the board ordered demolition or appeal within 30 days.

Staff told the board that 5502 North 9th Street had been condemned and staff were unable to locate heirs; multiple abatements and a code-inspection warrant had been executed. The board accepted staff's recommendation and ordered demolition or appeal within 30 days.

Ricky Wright presented photographs and a timeline, noting the property required city mowing and that a large beehive had been removed. "The staff recommendation is to find that the property is a public nuisance and that it is a hazard to the public health, safety, and welfare," Wright said. Legal counsel confirmed that staff had followed due diligence in attempting to locate heirs. The board voted to adopt the recommendation and issued the order.
