City Tackles Blighted Houses |
|
BESSEMER - June 10, 2011 The Bessemer City Council
received a report from the City Manager Tom Chatel at
Monday's meeting, that focused on three blighted
Bessemer houses.
The first hose that was discussed is located at 1802
South Barber Street and is owned by Rob Federighi, who
resides in Chicago.
Federighi, had written the City Manager suggesting that
he can no longer finish fixing the Barber St dwelling.
However, Chatel was contacted by a neighbor who
expressed interest in working with Federighi in
renovating the house
.
“I referred to it as a blighted structure, I think at
this point I would like refer to the structure as a
semi-blighted structure” Said Chatel. “ The neighbor has
had a history of restoring structures in the past.”
Chatel said that he would like to see the owner and the
neighbor put something together that would leave the
property on the tax rolls, and recommended that the
disposition for the house be tabled until next regular
commission meeting.
1717 Hadley Street was described as a seriously blighted
structure that will be available at the tax auction in
August. “Nobody’s going to enhance their home living
next to a structure like that” Chatel told the council.
The house will become available through the August Tax
Auction. The Council approved purchasing the dwelling in
August or at the October Tax Sale.
Finally, 303 South Case Street a house owned by Gary
Rund. “This has been an issue for a number of years”
said Chatel “The structure has become simply untenable.”
Chatel told the council that the owner has been
contacted on a number of occasions and has not
responded.
A Final Notice has been sent to Rund, stating those
conditions that subject the house to the city’s blight
ordinance. Failing to correct the blight issues, the
city will do it and charge Rudd for the effort. |
