Due to the absence of any response, the building owner was notified about the property maintenance hearing, which aims to establish the subsequent actions for the property and assess the possibility of resolving the complaints.
Brian Tucker, the Assistant City Manager, stated that due to the absence of the building’s owner during today’s hearing, the owner is now required to secure the building within five days before its scheduled demolition in 30 days.
Tucker informed the local news that although the staff made the decision today, they have been aware of the property for a considerable period of time. Furthermore, they are not the sole individuals who have observed the problems.
According to Tucker, the city’s staff is of the opinion that the renovation of the building is not economically viable when considering the property value.
The Blake Motel is not the only one. According to Tucker, the city has been actively addressing nuisance properties in recent years.
