There was no change at the property at that time. She stated she had not signed a contract yet. I told the owner I would reinspect on 11/14, at which time she would need to have the overgrowth cut back completely and at least have a contract for the garage demolition. also mentioned a demolition permit would need to be pulled. 11/14/2025-There had been no change to the property since the 10/23/2025 inspection.The overgrowth had not been cut back and the garage was still up. Because there had been no progress, I did not talk to the owner at this inspection. I could not make any more movement on the property until after the next hearing. 11 • ,,.
