12:48The council’s decision followed a detailed review of the violations on Madison Avenue. The property was cited for issues including incomplete construction, exposed bricks without protective stucco, and deteriorating structures that pose potential health and safety risks. Despite obtaining demolition and construction permits, work on the property ceased in November 2024, leaving it in a state of disrepair. The partially demolished sections and lack of maintenance have led to the property being described as an eyesore, affecting the local neighborhood’s aesthetic and safety.

15:08In the absence of the property owners at the hearing, it was noted that no significant actions had been taken since last November to address these issues. The council imposed fines starting at $100 for the first day and $50 for each subsequent day until compliance is achieved. These fines will accrue from the last known construction date, November 7, 2024. The council emphasized the importance of prompt compliance to avoid further legal actions, including potential foreclosure if the fines remain unpaid.
