Summary
The Abilene board ordered the owner of 734 Carver Street to provide a repair plan within 30 days and obtain permits, with 60 days to obtain rough-in inspections if the plan is accepted; staff cited unsafe conditions and prior contractor cleanup.
The Abilene Board of Building Standards on March 5 ordered the owners of 734 Carver Street to provide a plan of action within 30 days, obtain required permits and secure rough-in inspections within 60 days if the plan is accepted.
Staff reported the property had excessive junk and debris, was vacant and unsecured and had multiple electrical, plumbing and structural hazards. The city previously contracted to clean the exterior on Jan. 23, 2025, after a surge of resident complaints.
No members of the public spoke on the case. McNeil moved and Allred seconded a motion to follow the staff recommendation; the motion passed unanimously. The board directed staff to monitor compliance and to report back if the owner does not submit the required plan and permit applications within the 30-day period.
The board emphasized that final inspections must be completed before any permit expirations and that civil penalties or further action remain options if the owner fails to comply.
