Attorney explains fast-track demolition steps for blighted properties
Summary
Village Attorney Tom Green described a fast-track demolition process for open, vacant homes deemed hazardous, including public notice, owner/lien-holder notice, placarding, a 30-day suit window and Village-paid initial costs that could become liens.
Tom Green told the board a blighted home that is open, vacant and a hazard to the community could be eligible for a fast-track demolition process. He outlined the procedural steps: a public notice in the paper, notice to property owners and lien-holders, placarding the property, and a 30-day period for owners or lien-holders to file suit before a tear-down.
Green said initial demolition costs would be paid by the Village but could become a lien on the property. The board agreed to compile a new prioritized list of blighted properties and to obtain quotes for demolition work.
