Trustees consider fast-track demolition for blighted homes; attorney consultation planned
Summary
President Steve Buss described a fast-track demolition option for homes deemed not repairable or not maintained and said he will check with the village attorney about allowing a building inspector to initiate the process.
President Steve Buss told the Committee of the Whole there are homes in the village that are “not repairable or being maintained” and described a potential fast-track demolition process for those properties. He said he will consult the village attorney about enabling the building inspector to initiate that process.
The proposal was presented as a tool for addressing blight; trustees discussed the concept but did not take formal action or adopt an ordinance at the June 23 meeting. Further legal review and drafting will be required before any demolition program could be enacted.
