He reported that the building inspector inspected the property and at a public nuisance hearing April 8, the owners were given 17 days to get a building permit.
Since no building permit was obtained, a second public nuisance hearing was conducted on July 20 and at that time he declared the house a dilapidated structure and ordered it to be demolished by September 7.
Next, Ms. Keyim, owner, addressed the Commission informing them she had not applied for the building permit because she had misunderstood the City’s directive. She stated that she and her husband are co-owners with another person who lives in New York and they have decided to buy out the other owner.
She advised that almost $9,000.00 had been spent on a new roof and new plumbing for the house and that a $20,000.00 loan to remodel had been approved. Ms. Keyim stated the remodeling could be completed within two months.
Upon discussion, Mr. Southard agreed that the house could be brought up to standards and agreed to allow the owner time to renovate the house.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Downing, seconded by Commissioner Blair, to grant Ms. Keyim five days to get a building permit for the house at 330 North Louisa and to have it renovated in sixty days in accordance with city code. Motion carried.
