The barn at 280 Pearl Street first became an issue in May, 2012, when an investigation of a complaint found the barn to be in disrepair with walls leaning and sagging and roof sections collapsed. A Notice of Violation was issued on May 28, 2012, with repair or demolition given as options to abate the violations. On December 30, 2020, Code Enforcement viewed the property as a result of a complaint received. The violations from 2012 had not been abated, and the structure was found to be further deteriorated. A letter was sent to the owner of the property on December 30, 2020, informing the owner that the property remained in violation of the City's Property Maintenance Code, and that potential funding may be available through the City's Community Development Department. From December, 2020 until September, 2022, there was no communication with the property owner nor removal of the remains of the barn. A notice requiring progress toward repair or demolition was sent to the property owner and posted on the property on September 7, 2022. On October 13, 2022, a second notice of demolition was mailed to the owner via certified mail, and on October 14, 2022, the same notice was posted on the structure. To date, no progress has been made on obtaining a permit for repairs or demolition. The structure remains unsafe and a blight on the surrounding neighborhood. Committee Action Committee: Action: Staff Comments & Approvals This item will require a public hearing.
