Council to vote on demolishing 16 local houses

Property owners may appeal the decision to demolish their houses to council, and can be given an opportunity to remedy the condition of the property. But, absent a reprieve, the houses will be put on a list to be demolished.

The property owners may also contract to have the house demolished and the lot cleared. But if the city contractor does the job, the owner will be billed for the work and if they do not pay, a lien will be placed on the property.
