SUBJECT:

BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:

Authorize the Township Attorney to file a nuisance abatement lawsuit against the owner of 4025 Packard.

BACKGROUND:

This property has been the source of numerous complaints by residents of Pittsfield Township for several years due to the presence of multiple blighting factors in violation of the Pittsfield Township Code of Ordinances.

 

This site was last used as a gas station, closing in 2002. Since that time the above ground structures have deteriorated, maintenance has been sporadic, and numerous code enforcement actions have been taken, including phone calls to the owner, notice of violation letters, and citations. The site has become a haven for criminal behavior, an invitation and attractive nuisance to children, and a blight on neighboring properties.

 

This property is currently in violation of the Code of Ordinances.
