COMMUNICATIONS 30399 Lorain Road 1)emolition Representative: Gino Polito, attorney, part owner, 233`d St., Elyria, OH Mr. O'Malley advised that the Board stay within the procedures as much as possible. There is a life tenant residing at the home. Mr. Polito and his clients represent the remainder interest of the property. The City executed a search warrant and the Building Commissioner issued an order condemning the property. The owners did not submit an application or fees for the appeal and sent the communication presented at the meeting. The letter from Mr. Polito states that the remaindermen have no authority to enter the property. The condemnation order requires abatement of nuisance conditions. The correspondence seems to suggest their desire to take care of the issues but legal action is necessary. The condemnation order was issued March 29, 2016 and the letter is dated April 8, 2016. To Mr. O'Malley's knowledge, no action has been taken to this date. Mr. O'Malley advised the Board that they should docket the matter for a hearing, including sending notices to the appellant and Building Commissioner to submit evidence. Mr. O'Malley stated that it is within the Board's jurisdiction to review appeals to the Building Commissioner's orders. Mr. Polito stated that he will be out of the country for the next meeting.
