Scott Elder, neighborhood codes enforcement manager for the City of Knoxville, reported that the house was originally inspected in August 2022 and was found vacant and in poor condition. Elder told the hearing the structure showed \"visible signs of deterioration, significant deterioration on all sides,\" that the roof and gutters were damaged and sagging, several windows and entry doors were damaged and unsecured, utilities had been removed, and no permits were on file to begin repairs. Elder said the city had boarded the house before and that no repair activity had been applied for since the listed inspection.

Based on those findings, Bradshaw said he considered the structure \"an attractive nuisance and dangerous and injurious to the health and safety of the occupants or public\" and ordered the owner to repair or demolish the structure within 90 days. Bradshaw said that if the owner fails to take corrective action the structure may be placarded as unfit for human habitation, vacated, enclosed and the city may cause immediate repair or demolition; the cost of corrective action would become a lien and be collected as provided in city code.

The order applies to the principal structure at 211 Richmond Avenue and any accessory structure on the parcel. No members of the public had signed up to speak on the item during the hearing.

The public officer's order was entered at the March 28 hearing; the transcript does not include any dollar amounts for possible corrective-action costs. The 90-day compliance period and the city's authority to impose a lien were stated on the record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Public Officer R 1744 250328","oneSentenceSummary","The City of Knoxville public officer found 211 Richmond Avenue to be unsafe and ordered the owner to repair or demolish the house and accessory structure within 90 days, citing visible deterioration, unsecured openings, and lack of repair permits.","taxTitle","Public Officer Hearing, Knoxville City, Knox County, Tennessee","taxId",69356,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6099080,"Public officer affirms boarding charges for four properties, including 5129 Tinwood Drive",643,816465,1459799,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2821517-ae39a01d7a86d20cf978f83ca1e7a4ba&start=816&end=1459","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2821517-ae39a01d7a86d20cf978f83ca1e7a4ba/thumbnail_816465.jpg","/articles/6099080/Tennessee/Public-officer-affirms-boarding-charges-for-four-properties-including-5129-Tinwood-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6099080-87e3f6094a545a183023bd08f5f73f47/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142103&Signature=c4FkYQjPECCPJ~cYIFbz0axXVskk8yCcdKPs6eLPEDbj9cc3zj727MNPyb~Q3Sdwy5-gtW1CWLo3bg3L9HdPRbTxcRh9zqbXU-~sAyCSxV~0bo-zYJ-ReFgUE1coXHHAIMJ-yYEGx7eMrS5-y0cLxwLnGGNp8Ckht6E-2d27fE6H5zZ3mrHs07nzN9ow~Ak76nyFUEbOgp6LB2SGd8jfpn~lOm4mglC0xoW0mpXh6zkuoBk3VZnaR58H3WukcwV6RYLq-W8EIGwr7p-sGTuQx2mrv1b~na0HMIA8eY4ARz3oNGAr3Fqg4yWWXKXP1SneAeYzljtI74nr~uIXSK8NHw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nicholas Bradshaw, the public officer designated by the mayor, on March 28 affirmed charges for boarding and corrective action at four Knoxville properties: 5129 Tinwood Drive, 1107 Phillips Avenue, 1113 Phillips Avenue and 3700 Sevierville Pike.

Bradshaw said the structures met the city's criteria as attractive nuisances and hazards and approved the Public Service Department's corrective-action charges for those incidents.

At the hearing, Vicky Morris identified herself as a family member of the owner of 5129 Tinwood Drive and described efforts by family members to maintain the property after the death of her mother. \"Since February, me, my husband, and my brother-in-law have been managing the yard,\" Morris said, and described repeated flooding and challenges with a collapsed culvert under nearby railroad tracks. Morris said the house had extensive damage and that an interested buyer had considered the lot only because the house was not repairable. City staff said the boarding at 5129 occurred on April 26, 2024; the public officer noted the matter before him was affirmation of the boarding charges for that incident only and encouraged Morris to work with code staff on broader issues such as flooding, lot maintenance, and title or heirship questions.

Three other boarding-charge items were presented with limited discussion. The public officer approved the Public Service Department's charges for a boarding performed in October 2024 at 1107 Phillips Avenue, for boarding at 1113 Phillips Avenue in November 2024, and for boarding at 3700 Sevierville Pike in September 2024. In each case Bradshaw stated the structure was \"an attractive nuisance and dangerous and injurious to the health and safety of the community\" because it was open and accessible to children and members of the public, and he affirmed the charges related to the corrective action.

Votes at a glance:
- 5129 Tinwood Drive — boarding on April 26, 2024; public officer affirmed corrective-action charges.
- 1107 Phillips Avenue — boarding in October 2024; public officer affirmed corrective-action charges.
- 1113 Phillips Avenue — boarding in November 2024; public officer affirmed corrective-action charges.
- 3700 Sevierville Pike — boarding in September 2024; public officer affirmed corrective-action charges.

Bradshaw encouraged property representatives with broader concerns—flooding, title issues or repeated break-ins—to follow up with code staff after the hearing. The affirmations permit the Public Service Department to recover costs consistent with city code procedures.","The City of Knoxville public officer affirmed boarding charges for 5129 Tinwood Drive, 1107 Phillips Avenue, 1113 Phillips Avenue and 3700 Sevierville Pike.

Bradshaw said the hearing would be delayed so city staff and the owner could investigate the facts and encouraged the parties to work with city codes staff before the next monthly hearing.

The dispute arose after Victor Jernigan, who gave his address as 229 Sherway Road, told the public officer the city boarded 522 Victory Street, not 524. Jernigan said the property he and his team secure is 524 and that, in his view, the city had boarded the adjoining house in error. \"You all have gone out and done work,\" Jernigan said, adding that he was not refusing to cooperate but wanted to know the boarding charges and to clarify which address had been secured. \"I'd like to know how much money you spent boarding up the house.\"

City staff presented a photograph taken on the day of the boarding that they said showed fresh plywood with a city stamp. Scott Elder, neighborhood codes enforcement manager for the City of Knoxville, was identified in the hearing as the primary witness for the city's report. Elder indicated the city crew's photo was the city's evidence that the work had been performed. Jernigan countered that the plywood visible on 524 in the pictures appeared weathered and older and said the stamped boards were on 522.

Bradshaw said the dispute required additional investigation. He directed the parties to work with Elder to resolve the discrepancy and removed the item from the agenda, postponing it to the next monthly hearing so the city could research whether both properties were boarded or whether an error occurred. The public officer set no new hearing date during the session; he said the parties would have until the next hearing to sort the matter.

The hearing record shows the matter was raised during the boarding-approval portion of the March 28 public officer hearing. The city did not announce a dollar amount for the claimed boarding charge at the hearing.

Next steps: city codes staff will review the photographic evidence and crew records and follow up with the property representative before the next scheduled public officer hearing.","The City of Knoxville public officer postponed a decision on boarding charges tied to 524 Victory Street after a property representative disputed the city's evidence and said the city boarded the adjacent house instead. Staff will investigate and the item was moved to next month's hearing.","actionData","errors"]
