Progress Expected by July 23rd for Repairs at 1220 South Carlin Avenue
For the property at 1220 South Carlin Avenue, owned by Clark P. and Gail S. Braun, Inspector Blukey requested the matter be returned on July 23rd for progress. The house is vacant and secure, yards are acceptable, there have been eight inspections, progress has been made on orders, permits are on file, and there has been contact with the owners.
Owner Granted Extension for Retaining Wall and Stairs Specifications After Communication Breakdown
At the hearing for 2911 West Franklin Street, owner CJ Funke was ordered to submit specifications for retaining wall and stairs repairs within 10 days, a deadline he failed to meet. Inspector Allen recommended a $500 civil penalty for non-compliance. Mr. Funke explained that his engineer, Roland Schieff, needed to rework the specifications because the previous engineer's work was unsatisfactory. He hired a new engineering firm, Morley and Associates, and believed communication had been established with the city. The hearing officer, acknowledging the communication breakdown and the engagement of a reputable engineering firm, took the $500 civil penalty under advisement and granted an extension until August for the owner to provide the specifications to the building commission. The owner was also advised to get the work done before August to avoid further hearings.
No Progress on Repairs at 2600 West Illinois Street; Hearing Set for July
For the properties at 2600 West Illinois Street (house) and the associated garage, owned by Edgar A. and Gloria Simmons, there has been no progress on repairs despite eight inspections. The yards are unacceptable due to high weeds, and no permits have been filed. Inspector Allen recommended returning the matter for compliance on July 23rd. There have been no recent neighbor complaints.
Repair Order Affirmed for Garage Roof at 529 Stanley Avenue; Cited as Public Nuisance
The repair order for the garage at 529 Stanley Avenue, owned by John Jacob Fisher, was affirmed due to a deteriorating roof with missing shingles, exposed roof decking, missing siding, and lack of gutters. Inspector Allen noted two neighbor complaints, with the most recent inquiring about repair timelines. The inspector testified that portions of the roof are deteriorating to the point of crumbling and could potentially blow onto neighbors' properties during ordinary weather events, constituting a public nuisance and an unsafe structure. The hearing officer found the structure to be a public nuisance based on the testimony and neighbor complaints and affirmed the repair order, scheduling a return date in August.
Case for 1926 South Red Bank Road Continued Due to Owner's Health; Civil Penalty Held in Abeyance
For the property at 1926 South Red Bank Road, owned by Golby Gurley, there has been no progress on repairs despite nine inspections. The house is vacant and secure, but the yards are unacceptable due to overgrowth. No permits are on file, though there has been contact with the owner. Inspector Allen reported that the owner was recently released from the hospital and provided a current mailing address. The owner is still recovering and was unable to attend the hearing. The matter was continued to July 23rd, with the civil penalty to be kept under advisement.
