Consider City Abatement for Unresolved Violations of City Code at 2071 Fry Street As previously noted, this item was removed from tonight's agenda at the request of staff. e. Consider City Abatement for Unresolved Violations of City Code at 2408 St. Albans Permit Coordinator Don Munson reviewed violations at this single-family de- tached home, located at 2408 St. Albans, currently owned by William Meyers. Mr. Munson provided an update, including pictures, of violations, consisting of paint very deteriorated on portions of the home; and deteriorated and rotted soffits and window trim (violation of City Code, Sections 407.02J & K and 906.05.C); with abatement costs estimated to total $7,500.00. Mr. Munson advised that this complaint had originated late last fall, but since it was too late in the season to paint, action had been delayed, asking that the prop- erty owner bring the violations into compliance this summer, and sent information on assistance programs to the property owner, who had assured staff that he would bring proceed. Mr. Munson noted that, while some brush had been re- moved from the property, and the owner advised that a loan had been approved and new windows and siding ordered, with delivery anticipated by mid- September, work had yet to be initiated now ten (10) months after the initial no- tice, and no permits applied for, thus prompting staff to bring the case forward at this time.
