Subject: Public Comment for April 6 Meeting: Public Nuisance and Fire Hazard at 774 6th Street
To the Crescent City Council and City Manager et al,
I am writing to formally report a persistent public nuisance and safety hazard located at 774 6th Street.
As a neighbor, I am concerned about the continued neglect of this property. A Correction Notice (Job #24-RME) was issued by the Building Department on February 11, 2024, declaring this structure "NOT FIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION" due to infestation, structural failure, and lack of essential services.
It has now been over two years since that notice was posted, and the property remains a significant threat to our neighborhood:
• Fire Hazard: The grass is currently over two feet tall, creating a massive fuel load right next to occupied homes.
• Public Health: The "infestation" noted by the city inspector remains unaddressed, affecting surrounding properties.
• Safety: The structure is abandoned and deteriorating, attracting illegal activity and reducing local property values.
Since no corrective work has been performed since early 2024, I am requesting that the City move forward with Administrative Abatement and Demolition. Our neighborhood should not have to wait another year for a "dangerous building" to be cleared.
I have attached a photo of the city’s own Correction Notice for your reference. I look forward to a response regarding the city’s timeline for clearing this site.
Sincerely,
Dani Harrington
