Arcata City Council is set to take final action on a resolution authorizing the city to abate nuisance conditions at 4600 West End Road and recover its costs, after staff said the violations remained unresolved even after an April 15 hearing and an extra 30 days to comply.
According to the May 20 council agenda packet, the item is Resolution No. 256-55, which states that nuisance conditions at the property “continue to exist and have not been abated.” The staff report says the Building Official initiated enforcement on Feb. 19 by issuing a Notice of Nuisance and recording notice of the nuisance with the Humboldt County Clerk-Recorder. It adds that on April 15, the council granted the property owner another 30 days to complete abatement.
The May 20 report says staff confirmed on May 11 that the nuisance conditions still had not been abated. If adopted, the resolution would authorize the city, through Environmental Services and its contractors or agents, to enter the property and abate the nuisance conditions, and would authorize the city manager to collect any costs incurred.
The packet does not identify the owner of record in the excerpt provided, and it does not give a cost estimate or a full list of the alleged violations.
