Council approves nuisance abatement special assessment for 5845 Balfour Road — $1,872.03
Summary
Council adopted ordinance 93-2026 as an emergency measure to assess $1,872.03 as a lien against 5845 Balfour Road after staff said A & J Landscaping removed "40 yards of material" during a nuisance abatement; staff reported the owner did not take the offered cleanup options.
At the June 1 council meeting, staff described a nuisance abatement at 5845 Balfour Road and requested the city’s costs be filed as a special assessment against the property.
A staff presenter said "A and J Landscaping hauled away 40 yards of material" from the rear yard and detailed city costs for demolition, police presence and staff time that totaled $1,872.03. Staff told council the property owner was offered opportunities to remove the material or use curb pickup; when she declined, staff proceeded with abatement.
Council considered ordinance 93-2026, "levying a special assessment for the abatement of a public nuisance located at 5845 Balfour Road in the city of Sylvania, Ohio in the amount of $1,872.03," moved, seconded and approved it as an emergency measure.
During discussion, a council member asked whether the city's nuisance code permits interest on liens; staff said the cited code section does not discuss interest and the city did not add interest in this case.
