Code enforcement and building-inspection reports: violations, permits and zoning notes

Mount Sterling City Council · August 18, 2026

Summary

Code enforcement reported about 70 cases since the last meeting with a range of violations; building inspection recorded 10 permits in the last month, two demolitions and one upcoming zoning change, and said a West Main request has not returned to planning and zoning.

Code Enforcement Officer Mike Maguire told the council the office logged about 70 violations since the last meeting, with category counts the officer read into the record. "We got a 70 violation this month or since last meeting on there. Break those down. We had 23 moles, 25 bulky, eight parking…" he said (transcript wording retained where unclear).

Building Inspector Jim Johnson reported 10 permits over 30 days, four items forwarded to the zoning board of adjustment, two demolitions (one ongoing at 500 East High), renovations and one zoning change pending. He said the West Main request that citizens had inquired about has not yet returned to planning and zoning for action.

Council thanked staff for enforcement and inspection work. No enforcement-by-fine actions or new zoning decisions were recorded in the excerpt; items remain in administrative or planning stages.
