Council orders pursuit of ordinance violation and possible boarding for vacant Gunther house
Summary
Council directed staff to proceed with an ordinance violation and seek court permission to board up the vacant Gunther property after repeated nonresponse from estate representatives; staff will file an unsafe-building case if compliance is not achieved.
Staff reported that a property owned by the estate of a person named Gunther has not responded to notices, and that Amy Mills and Scott Carr have pending compliance timelines. A staff member said they would file an ordinance violation and seek a court order to board up the Gunther property if estate representatives do not respond: "...we're just gonna file an ordinance violation on Gunther's house," the staff member said, and noted the plan to request a court order to board the structure and prevent unauthorized entry.
Council discussed waiting for court permission before entering property and the procedural steps for an unsafe-building filing. Staff said they would file under the unsafe-building rubric and ask the court for authority to secure the property; council did not record a final vote but directed staff to proceed with formal enforcement steps if compliance did not occur by the timelines discussed.
