Dangerous Building Complaint
As directed by Council on November 5, we filed a dangerous building complaint in Superior Court today. The complaint cites numerous serious safety issues at the Wlodylo property, and asks the Court to impose corrective actions to preserve the safety of those at the Wlodylo residence and nearby residences. We conducted a press briefing concurrent with the filing of the complaint; it is unusual that we have not been able to focus the owner’s attention on these safety concerns and needed to resort to the neutral authority of the court. We provided to press a Fact Sheet and statement and the complaint itself. The complaint included the professional engineer’s report that identified the serious concerns of structural integrity and safety.
Great Press
The Capital Weekly front page features a really wonderful article about the regional approach we have pioneered with the Riverfront Bond grant application. Congrats Jason!
