Council condemns fire-damaged home at 100 W. Jefferson Ave.; staff: structure beyond repair
Summary
After reviewing photos and structural surveys showing extensive fire damage, the Council adopted Resolution R2026-3 finding the dwelling at 100 W. Jefferson 'Unfit for Human Occupancy' and authorizing condemnation and removal.
City staff presented photographic and inspection evidence showing 100 W. Jefferson Ave. suffered significant fire damage and has been without utilities since 2019. Planning Manager Nikki Lee and Planning Director Clyde "C.B." Strain said repair costs would likely exceed demolition costs and noted the structure was tagged "Unfit for Human Occupancy."Councilor Linda Garcia moved to approve Resolution R2026-3; Councilor Ron Molina seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Councilors discussed outreach to nonprofits for rebuilding possibilities but noted no organizations had committed to a project. The Council's action authorizes the City to proceed under state statute if the owner does not remediate.
