Board reviews long‑running compliance case and considers new applicant for a vacancy
Summary
The board discussed enforcement steps against a property owner who performed renovations without permits (a stop‑work/red tag issued previously) and staff noted enforcement progress is constrained by building‑department bandwidth; staff also presented an application for board vacancy from Steven Hamlin for consideration by the mayor.
Charles Blumpling summarized a multi‑year enforcement matter involving an owner who proceeded with renovations without full permits, removed structural elements and later received a red‑tag (stop‑work order). "We red tagged the property, which is a stop work order from the building department," Charles said, noting building‑department turnover and enforcement bandwidth have slowed progress and that the matter is now in the city‑attorney enforcement pipeline.
Separately, staff presented an application from Steven Hamlin for the board vacancy; Blumpling read highlights from Hamlin’s resume and asked whether the board had objections to forwarding the candidate to the mayor for appointment. Board members responded favorably and suggested sending the resume to the mayor’s office for consideration; no formal board vote was taken at the meeting.
