On January 19, 2022, the City was informed <br />by the Police that upon inspection of 2010 Lexington Avenue, Everett (the "Property"), it <br />was found that the residential structure was unlawfully occupied. On January 26, 2022, <br />the City ordered that the residential structure be vacated immediately and the <br />residential and accessory structures be secured from trespass. The property owner (the <br />"Owner") failed to comply with this order. On February 27, 2022, the City, through a <br />contractor secured, the structures from trespass. Previous to this, on December 2, 2021 <br />the City's Hearing Examiner held that code violations existed on the Property and <br />imposed a penalty of $1800 against the Owner. The Owner failed to pay the abatement <br />costs and penalty, which are now past due. This Resolution authorizes placement of an <br />assessment lien on the property on or after April 27, 2022 in the amount of the <br />outstanding costs of abatement and the penalties imposed by the Examiner, which total <br />$7163.73. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Adopt Resolution authorizing recovery of abatement costs pursuant to EMC 1.20.090 at 2010 <br />Lexington Avenue. <br />
