Development News from the latest meeting
212 GoForth Drive ordered for repair with strict timelines and documentation requirements
The Board considered the property at 212 GoForth Drive, which was previously ordered for repair of the main structure and demolition of an accessory structure. The accessory structure remains standing, and the main structure has significant issues including a failing roof, rotting and sagging overhangs, cracking brick siding, and interior damage. The owner's granddaughter, Lisa Bustos, who is the executor of the estate, requested additional time due to ongoing probate and ownership transfer complexities, and stated efforts to secure contractors for demolition and eventual repair. The Board voted to order repairs within 30 days, with requirements for the property to be secured, free of trash and debris, regular follow-ups (every 15 days), and provision of required documentation (scope of work, financial proof, permits).
Demolition ordered for 829 West Hutchins Place due to dangerous conditions
The Board considered the property at 829 West Hutchins Place, a dangerous building recommended for demolition. This was the third time the property was presented, with previous orders for repair and demolition of an accessory structure. Despite previous orders, the main structure remains in violation of city codes due to dilapidation, posing a hazard to public health, safety, and welfare. The Board voted to demolish the structure within 30 days, with requirements for vacating, cutting utilities, collecting abatement costs, and ensuring the property is free of debris.
Demolition ordered for 511 Yellowwood Drive due to severe neglect and structural damage
The Board reviewed the property at 511 Yellowwood Drive, a dangerous structure recommended for demolition. The property has been neglected for at least two years, with significant damage including a separating metal roof, collapsing brick siding, broken windows, missing siding, and interior collapse due to water damage. The owner has not responded to notices or attended meetings. The Board voted to demolish the structure within 30 days, requiring it to be secured, free of trash and debris, and for the owner to cover all prior and current abatement costs.
826 Peggy Drive hearing reset for further review of repair plans
The Board discussed the property at 826 Peggy Drive, which has been neglected since 2019 and presents significant structural issues. The owner's representative, John A. Bila II (executor of the estate), requested a continuance to provide a scope of work and bids. The property has multiple code violations, including damaged siding, broken windows, collapsed drywall, and deteriorated roofing. The Board voted to reset the hearing for this property within 30 days, allowing time for the owner's representative to gather necessary documentation and plans.
Demolition ordered for 1918 McCullough Avenue after failure to address structural hazards
The Board considered the property at 1918 McCullough Avenue, a commercial structure with significant structural issues including detaching and cracking brick siding, interior water damage, and electrical hazards due to extension cord use. The property is an active tire shop. Staff recommended repairs, but given the extent of the damage and the owner's lack of progress since April 9th, 2026, the Board voted to order demolition within 30 days, with requirements for vacating, cutting utilities, securing the property, removing debris, and covering abatement costs. The Board also recommended revoking the certificate of occupancy.
