Title, Order
Authorizing the City Manager to Demolish a Structure at 45 Allen Street Owned by Robert Mitchell 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,
detached garage at 45 Allen Street and lien the property for the costs incurred.
The house at 45 Allen St has been vacant since 1996. The Code Enforcement Department gave
notice to the property owner for maintenance violations in 2015 and 2016. The house on the
property was placarded in 2016.
Upon recent inspection, it was observed by Code Enforcement that the garage is dangerous. There
are large holes in the roof and the roof is in a state of collapse. Water damage has caused rot to the
interior and sills, and the building has shifted to the point where the doors and windows no longer
work properly. A notice of violation on the garage was sent on February 28, 2018; the City has
received no response. At this time, structural deficiencies, water damage, and damage to the roof
make the garage beyond rehabilitation.
A notice requiring progress towards repair or demolition was sent on March 30, 2018. No progress
has been made on repairing either the house or garage. At this time the garage is dangerous and
represents a significant blight on the neighborhood. If approved, this Order would authorize
demolition of the detached garage only. Staff recommends that the garage be demolished and that
a lien be placed on the property for the cost of the demolition.
This item will require a public hearing.
