On July 7,2016,the City's Hearing Examiner held that code violations existed at 1611 24th <br /> Street. Violations included outdoor junk, garbage, debris and overgrown and dead vegetation, and ordered <br /> that the vacant structures on site be maintained in a clean, safe, secure, and sanitary condition. The Examiner <br /> also imposed a penalty of$2000. Snohomish County Superior Court entered a warrant of abatement <br /> allowing the City to enter the Property to demolish the residential structure and remove and properly dispose <br /> of all debris at the sole cost of the Owners. The violations were not abated in accordance with the Order and <br /> pursuant to a warrant of abatement,the City abated the violations. The abatement costs and penalties were <br /> not paid, and are now past due. This Resolution authorizes placement of an assessment lien on the property <br /> on or after May 16, 2018,in the amount of the outstanding costs of abatement and the penalty imposed by the <br /> Examiner,which totals $76,111.42. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Adopt a Resolution authorizing recovery of abatement costs pursuant to EMC 1.20.090 at 1611 24th Street. <br /> 85 <br />
