Cactus council orders demolition of fire-damaged building at 502 Winona Ave
Summary
After staff reported the building was severely damaged in an October 2025 fire and attempts to contact the owner failed, the council approved a motion authorizing demolition and a lien if the owner does not act within 30 days.
Councilors voted to authorize the demolition of the fire-damaged building at 502 Winona Ave after staff described the structure as severely damaged by an October 2025 fire and in violation of city building standards. City staff told the council they had sent a certified letter, posted notice on the building and attempted contact with the owner; staff said the owner has 30 days from the hearing to contest or the city will proceed and place a lien on the lot.
Alderman Raul Ceniceros moved that the council approve demolition based on the structures violation of city building standards; Alderman Adan Estrada seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. "The owner has 30 days from the hearing to contest; if no action, city will proceed with demolition and lien," staff told the council during the public hearing.
The action clears the way for the city to remove the damaged structure if the property owner does not act within the 30-day contest period. The council did not provide a recorded roll-call tally in the transcript; meeting minutes should be consulted for the official vote record.
