The Jonesboro City Council on Monday adopted three resolutions authorizing condemnation proceedings for properties the city says were determined unsuitable for human habitation.

The council approved resolutions to begin condemnation of properties at 711 Burke Avenue (parcel 01-143134-03400), 2620 Crawford Drive, No. 11 (parcel 01-144273-02200) and 2017 Belt Street (parcel 01-144171-02600). Owners listed in the resolution texts are WPE LLC, Hilltop Rentals LLC and MCCM Construction Incorporated, respectively.

Each resolution was read into the record by the meeting presider as part of business taken after the consent agenda. The meeting record shows a motion and second were made for each resolution, the clerk was asked to load the vote, no public comment was offered on those items, and the motions passed.

The resolutions as read state that city inspections found the properties “unsuited for human habitation” and that “all stipulations have been met in the condemnation process” to proceed. The resolutions direct the city to move forward with condemnation proceedings for the listed addresses.

No detailed timelines, estimated costs, or specific next steps for abatement or demolition were provided during the meeting. The record does not show individual roll-call vote tallies or the names of the mover and seconder for each resolution.

The condemnation items were discussed and decided during the council’s regular meeting; the meeting transcript records no public comments on those specific items.

What happens next will depend on the city’s formal condemnation process, including any required notices to property owners and opportunities for the owners to respond, as specified in the resolutions and applicable local procedures.
