Summary

Staff said a second property (referred to as '17') has a pulled permit but no work and structural failures; staff said the occupant may still be living there despite postings and the owner or representative was expected to appear to plead for time.

City staff told council that the second property under review — referenced in the meeting as "17" — has a permit on file but no actual work completed and several structural failures. Speaker 4 told the council the owner had not responded to service in the past and that the house has been on the city's radar for years.

Staff said they had posted the property and that the occupant still had power and water, meaning the occupant might continue to live there until a condemnation determination is formalized. Speaker 4 said he had "no problem with giving him 90 days" if council deemed it appropriate and that the property's owner or a representative was expected to appear at the meeting.
