The Trenton Building and Nuisance Board took one structure off their list of properties needing attention and added a few others during a meeting held Tuesday evening.
The board voted to remove property at 1000 Rural St., owned by Smartbeltz LLC, from the “Finding of Facts” list as the needed repairs have been made. Property at 604 Linn Street, owned by Duane Lahn, which is at the Public Hearing stage of the process, was also discussed. Building Inspector Wes Barone said he has spoken with the owner and the contractor that has been hired to work on the property and was told that repairs to the basement wall are slated to begin Aug. 16.
Barone said he has also talked with Carla Cooksey, the owner of property at 2112 Oak St., and once utilities are turned off to the house and garage, demolition will begin through a private contractor.
Property at 208 E. 10th St., owned by Michael Airey and recently damaged in a fire, was declared a nuisance, as was property at 511 Ninth Ct., owned by Bobby Burkeybile. That property contains a junk pile that cannot be burned and needs to be removed. Barone reported that work is still in progress on property at 913 Lulu St, owned by David Rairdon. That property had earlier been declared a dangerous building.
The group also discussed a property located in the Scott and Haddox subdivision that, while it is annoying to neighbors due to multiple items in the yard and overgrown shrubs, etc., it probably cannot legally be considered for prosecution in its current state. Board members asked that property at 2418 Fisherman Rd., owned by Matt and Stephanie Snow, also be looked at for possible nuisance violations.
The building board is scheduled to meet again at 6 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 23.
