Title, Order
Authorizing the City Manager to Demolish a Structure at 117 Fourth Street Owned by U.S. Bank N.A. and
Have a Lien Placed on the Property to Recover City Costs
This Order would authorize City staff to take action and expend funds to demolish the dilapidated
building at 117 Fourth Street and lien the property for the costs incurred.
The building at 117 Fourth Street has been vacant since 2013 and the City has received numerous
complaints from the neighbors. The Code Enforcement Department has attempted to work with the
property management company and US Bank N.A. to address the dangerous conditions of the
property. Specifically, the issues of concern include a foundation that has failed on three sides and a
leaking roof.
As a result, the building was placarded in 2013, 2016, and 2017. In March 2018, an initial notice
regarding demolition of the building was sent. A notice requiring progress towards repair or
demolition was sent on April 9, 2018. No progress has been made. Because of the deterioration of
the foundation and roof, the building is dangerous and represents a significant blight to the
neighborhood. Staff recommends that the building be demolished and that a lien be placed on the
property for the cost of demolition.
This item will require a public hearing.
