Located at 34 Holland Street
Responsible Department: Code
Commentary: In May of 2010 the City Council declared property located at 34 Holland
Street to be a dangerous building, condemned the building and ordered the owner to
remove the structure. As of December, 2010 the owner had failed to remove the
building and allowed the property tax liens to mature. Additionally, the building has
continued to deteriorate.
If approved, this Order directs staff to take possession of the property and to demolish.
Demolibon of the existing structure will be paid for through Community Development
Block Gram (CDBG) funds. Removal of blighted properties, owned by the City, is a
CDBG eligible activity. This was reviewed by the Finance Committee on April 4, 2011
and unanimously recommended to the full council. This Order directs City Staff to take
possession of 34 Holland St
