| 08/06/2013 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | ASMITH | Approved | I have been told to stand down on this property by Rick S. It seems the property belongs to the bank and but there is no filing to support that, the lawyers for the old owner has paper work that state that Mr. Downer is no longer the owner. Inspection found that the property has been boarded from a fire in May of 2012. All units are secured at this time. There is Graffiti, Trash and Refuse and overgrown vegetation on the property. |
| 12/17/2013 | INSP - FOLLOW UP CODE ENFORCE | ASMITH | Approved | Property has had the trash and refuse removed and the overgrown vegetation has been cut. The graffiti looks like it has been removed but someone has hit it again. |
