Summary

Staff said the owner of 906.5 18th Street has completed most exterior work and has pulled a permit; staff recommended granting 90 days to begin interior renovations so the duplex can be made livable and returned to the rental market.

Staff told the council the owner of 906.5 18th Street has pulled a permit and completed most exterior work, including a new roof, siding repairs and window replacement, and recommended a 90‑day extension to begin interior renovations.

"The owner has pulled a permit. He started making repairs, and you're gonna see it at the end of the slides," the presenter said, adding: "It's my recommendation that we give him another 90 days to pull the permit to start the interior renovations of this property." Staff noted the property is not currently occupied and described it as a duplex.

Why it matters: staff recommended the targeted extension because recent exterior work indicates owner investment but interior habitability remains unresolved. A council member expressed no objection to the recommendation during the discussion recorded in the transcript.
