Body

 

The Neighborhood Inspections Division is asking Council's approval for involuntary demolition of the following dwellings:

 

534 Arch Drive, 1157 Calhoun Street, 542 Chestnut Street, 1363 Crawford Road, 809 Harrison Street and 424 Spruce Street.

 

These dwellings meet the requirements for condemnation. Numerous attempts were made to contact owners, most with no success. Others promised to make repairs and did not follow through.  Once approved, a list of properties will be advertised two consecutive weeks in The Herald, and posted at City Hall for 30 days.  Condemnation notices will be posted on the properties and liens filed to recoup costs.
