City orders urgent repairs for condemned property
In a recent government meeting, officials addressed significant property issues concerning a structure located at 1333 Meander Street, owned by Peggy K. Wilson. The property has been flagged for multiple code violations, including inadequate sanitation, structural hazards, and hazardous electrical wiring. The meeting revealed that the property has been vacant since November 2021, and inspections were severely limited due to blocked passageways and extensive clutter inside.

The timeline of events leading to the current situation began in May 2024, when major roof damage was identified. Following a series of inspections and communications with the owner, a plan of action was proposed. The staff recommended that the owner be given 30 days to submit a detailed plan for repairs, including a timeframe and cost estimates, as well as to secure necessary permits. If the owner complies, they would then have 60 days to obtain rough inspections, with final inspections required by the expiration of all permits.

The motion to enforce this plan was unanimously approved by the board, signaling a commitment to address the deteriorating conditions of the property. The public hearing on this case was opened, inviting community members to voice their concerns or support regarding the situation.
