CITY of SOUTH BEND <br />ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />Katherine G. Barnard Neighborhood Code Enforcement 219/284 -9486 <br />Director 219/284 -9498 <br />219/284.9303 <br />January 6, 1981 <br />South Bend Common Council <br />County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />This proposed ordinance is concerned with vacant structures in the City that <br />have not been properly boarded within a reasonable period of time. <br />As you know a vacant, open structure is a potential hazard to a neighborhood <br />because it can be a target for arson and other disruptive activities, causing <br />danger to surrounding buildings. <br />Presently a structure is not considered vacant until it has been unoccupied <br />and open for 30 days. Then the property owner is notified and has 15 days to <br />board the building. <br />A recent amendment to the Unsafe Building law allows the Neighborhood Code <br />Enforcement office to have a vacant structure boarded after the property owner <br />has been properly notified and given 10 days to secure the structure. This <br />ordinance would amend the Municipal Code to bring it into conformance with the <br />amendment to the Unsafe Building Law. <br />In addition I propose removing the article on vacant structures from Chapter 11, <br />Housing, and adding the article to Chapter 6, Buildings. <br />Thank you for your consideration of the proposal. <br />Sincerely, <br />j<.Zkj <br />Kathy Barnard, Director <br />Neighborhood Code Enforcement <br />KB: eh <br />Att. <br />cc: Richard Hill <br />Eugenia Schwartz <br />
