Washington Ave. • Following up on complaints received from concerned neighbors Building Official Miller Butts, together with Building Inspector, Mike Christensen, met with the property owner John Castillo on Oct. 12, 2020 for a site visit to assess risk to human habitation. Broken glass, fire damage, trash, debris, and overall dilapidated condition of property, constitute a menace to public comfort, health, peace and safety. Resolution 22-16 Appeal 1601 S.

The notice was also sent via certified mail. Fire damage, trash, debris, and overall dilapidated condition of property, constitute a menace to public comfort, health, peace and safety. Resolution 22-16 Appeal 1601 S. Washington Ave. • Following an extended period of discussion with Mr. Castillo, with no action taken to resolve the issues presented at the property, a determination to begin condemnation proceedings was made in Jan. 2022. • Resolution 22-16, was adopted by Roswell City Council on Mar. 10, 2022, requiring the repair, removal, or demolition of the property at 1601 S.

Resolution 22-16 Appeal 1601 S. Washington Ave. • As Mr. Castillo has made no further attempts to resolve the issues presented, and has refused all assistance provided by the Building Division and the Building Inspectors, there remains serious questions and uncertainty regarding the structural integrity, and safety, of the structure. • The Building Official cannot, with confidence, determine whether the structural integrity of the house has been fatally compromised.
