Public officer affirms boarding actions and charges for multiple vacant properties
Summary
The hearing approved city boarding actions and affirmed associated charges for a series of vacant, boarded or deteriorated properties across the city, citing public-safety concerns and the potential for liens if owners do not reimburse costs.
The public officer reviewed and approved boarding actions taken by the city's public service department and affirmed the charges related to corrective action for multiple properties, citing that the buildings were "an attractive nuisance" and dangerous to children and the public.
Addresses approved for boarding charges included 3105 Boyd's Bridge Pike; 1105 Chickamauga Avenue; 2928 Dresser Road; 923, 933, 963 and 975 Knoxville College Drive; 2310 LaSalle Lane; and 1100 Sunrose Road. For each property the hearing record notes the boarding date and the public-service department's remediation work; the public officer affirmed the department's authority to place charges for corrective action that may become liens if not paid.
Bradshaw spoke repeatedly while entering approvals: "I approve the boarding action taken by the city public service department and affirm the charges related to the corrective action for the structure at 3105 Boyds Bridge Pike due to the building being an attractive nuisance and dangerous and injurious to the safety of the community." Staff noted some locations have had repeated boarding and continued intrusions, which informs the city's decision to pursue corrective action.
