Body
Legislative History
None
Purpose & Explanation
The City has attempted multiple times to communicate with the property owners for an extended period of time without a response from the owner. Additionally, the city has had multiple code enforcement activities relevant to the property for several years. Due the site conditions which may engage the health, like, or limb of persons, a written order declaring the property a public nuisance was issued on August 1, 2025. All protocols including service and timelines have been processed by applicable standards. Additionally, no appeal was filed pursuant to the allowances of 1480.04(d).
The project design and specifications have been completed for this project. The City is seeking City Council’s approval to proceed with bidding and awarding a construction contract for the demolition of the residence and rubbish removal from the property. The estimated scope of work is estimated at $45,000. Once the site abatement is completed, the owner will be billed the cost of abatement. Failure to pay the cost, will result in the costs being levied as an assessment to the property tax duplicate with Summit County.
The City Prosecutor and City Solicitor have approved this site demolition project based on the above non-responsive owner.
