Board to inspect dilapidated house at 524 Canal Street after resident complaints
Summary
Complaints about missing garage doors, a failing front porch and general disrepair at 524 Canal Street prompted the board to request a building-inspector review and correction notices; the board cited possible violation of Village Ordinance Chapter 705 and set a late-spring compliance deadline.
President Robert McLimans reported complaints concerning the condition of the house at 524 Canal Street, referencing missing garage doors, a falling front porch and an overall unsafe condition that may breach Village Ordinance Chapter 705 on unsafe buildings. McLimans said inspectors should examine the property and issue correction notices, giving the owner a deadline in late spring to make repairs.
Chief Small noted he knows the owner, Larry Bedtka of Prairie, and offered to contact him. Board members expressed concern about public safety, saying the porch was "barely hanging by a thread" and that the inspector's review should proceed promptly to determine next steps under the village code.
