Committee approves clean‑and‑lien procedures for 49 Hemlock Place

Mayor's Code Enforcement Committee · February 13, 2025

Summary

The Mayor's Code Enforcement Committee voted unanimously to refer a clean‑and‑lien abatement for 49 Hemlock Place to the city attorney, giving the homeowner 10 days to comply before the city hires a contractor and places a lien.

The Mayor's Code Enforcement Committee voted to begin formal abatement procedures for 49 Hemlock Place after land use staff reported the property had not complied with prior orders and displayed visible blight. Tom, from the land use department, said the driveway and yard contained equipment, auto parts and construction materials "that could be considered blight."

Chair explained the next step: a notice of abatement will be issued and "They have 10 days from the date of the order to remove the violations and reach out to us for inspection," after which the city would hire a contractor and place a lien if the homeowner does not comply. The committee passed the motion unanimously and the Chair said the city will coordinate with Public Works, which has an annual $10,000 line item to assist with clean‑and‑lean enforcement.
