A structure fire on August 22, 2023, resulted in an estimated $50,000 in damages to a property that has since raised concerns among neighboring residents. Following multiple complaints regarding the condition of the site, an inspection conducted on February 7, 2024, revealed that the property was hazardous and warranted condemnation. The house, which had been completely gutted, was found to have fire debris piled outside.

In response to these findings, an affidavit of condemnation was filed with the county clerk on February 8, 2024. That same day, initial notices of condemnation were sent to the property owner through both regular and certified mail, including a 30-day and a 60-day notice. The situation highlights ongoing community concerns regarding property safety and the responsibilities of property owners in maintaining their premises post-incident.
