Title, Order
Authorizing the City Manager to Demolish the Structure at 10 Hersey Avenue and Have a Lien Placed on the
Property to Recoup City Costs
This Order would authorize City staff to take action and expend funds to demolish the dilapidated
building at 10 Hersey Ave. and lien the property for the costs incurred.
The building at 10 Hersey Avenue has been vacant since 2013. The Code Enforcement Department
has attempted to work with the bank and property management company to repair issues ranging
from a leaking roof and basement full of water to unsafe propane and oil tanks. The building was
placarded in 2016 and an initial notice regarding demolition of the building was sent in June of 2017.
At this time, structural deficiencies to the building, largely due to prolonged exposure to water, make
this building beyond rehabilitation.
A notice requiring progress towards repair or demolition was sent on December 27, 2017. No
progress has been made. At this time the property is dangerous and represents a significant blight
to the neighborhood. Staff recommends that property be demolished and that a lien be placed on
the for the cost of demolition.
This item will require a public hearing.
