Overview: During the Stewartville City Council meeting, the council addressed an issue regarding a nuisance property cleanup on Fifth Avenue Southeast. Complaints had been received about the property’s condition, prompting the council to hold a public hearing. Although the property owners, Steven and Trista Dert, had initiated some cleanup efforts, the council decided to proceed with formal abatement after limited progress was observed. The city will now remove the offending items, including tall weeds and debris, with the costs to be charged to the property owners.
