Descrizione
Abandoned house overgrown with weeds and trees on Academy across from new city hall. This issue was reported almost a year ago. The last update from the city was 10 months ago that "the property owner was actively working to fix the situation". Nothing was done and the city closed the report. This property has been abandoned for more than 10 years and is an eyesore to the community.

I am reading the city code and this abandoned building clearly can be classified as an Unfit Building and a nuisance (Section 5-20). Can the city explain how this does not apply?

The subject structure is not structurally unsound or unsafe, there is nothing about its construction that is likely to cause a fire or the spreading of fire, and it is certainly not overcrowded. Further, the building is secured and does not appear to harbor vermin or disease. Thus, it does not meet the definition of a nuisance building.
The City certainly understands and is in agreement with the desire for this property to be significantly improved; be that through refurbishment or redevelopment. We are actively engaged with the property owner to encourage such activity; however, it is not an issue that we can legally force at this time.
