Title, Order
Directing the City Manager to Take Possession of the Property Located at 67 Lincoln Street.
If approved, this Order directs the City Manager to take possession of property located at 67 Lincoln
Street by virtue of matured tax liens.
Real estate, sewer, and stormwater liens on the property located at 67 Lincoln Street have matured.
The property is vacant. The Code Enforcement Office has placarded the building as unfit for human
habitation due to a crumbling foundation.
The property owner has been informed that the outstanding charges need to be paid and the
foundation needs to be stabilized and building secured in order for the City to deed the property to
him. This has been discussed with the property owner at Finance Committee meetings in July, August,
and, most recently on September 4, 2019. The Finance Committee recommended that the property be
deeded to the owner if the charges were paid and foundation is stabilized and secured.
The property owner has paid the outstanding charges and the money has been held in escrow pending
the repairs to the foundation and Council approval of a deed. However, the property owner has failed
to stabilize the foundation and secure the property.
