Codes and Building Safety was notified on August 4, 2009 that this propertyy was vacant, had high grass and weeds and needed exterior repairs (RFS # 09-1040063). Codes issued notice to the owner of record to make the specific repairs. The high grass issue was handled by the Metro Health Department. After the owner failed to correct any of the violaitons Codes requested a civil warrant and began prosecuting this owner in court...however the owner never appeared in court. On March 15, 2011 your Homeowners Association contacted Codes and made us aware that there was again high grass and weeds....we referred to Metro Health since Codes at that time had no jurisdiction over "vacant un-occupied" properties having high grass and weeds...only structures. On March 21, 2011 Codes learned that Fidelity Federal was the responsible party for this property and notice was sent to them to make specific repairs to the structure. On July 19, 2011 Codes placed the property in a research for ownership and we learned that Chase Home Financial in Columbus, Ohio was the legal owner and they were abated as well. Since Chase made no attempt to clean the premsies, cut the grass or make repairs Codes requested issuance of a civil warrant and we have a scheduled a court date to prosecute this lending company in court on November 16, 2011.

Karene,
I would like to thank you for your response and letting us know what was being done by our government agencies to correct this.I know that our neighbors and myself really do appreciate. your efforts.
On the off chance would you be aware of any reason why our property management company (Ghertner )has not taken the initiative to clean this up and charge it back to the current owner? I feel that it is their responsibility, not Codes, to enforce the bylaws of our association. They have the right to enter any residence either by force or amicably to enforce the rules. Why are we spending tax payers money to enforce rules imposed on us by a homeowners association. Once again thank you for your time and response.

Unfortunately this is a quesiton that I cannot answer, but rather you would have to ask the management company.

What happened in court I can't find any info via your link.

I am not sure wht the 2009 case is not showing up, but the Judge continud the case until January 11, 2012.

Well, somebody finally boarded up the front windows and door. The front yard is being mowed regularly but nothing is being done about the overgrowth in the back yard. Hey, it's a start.

Well the back yard now resembles a forest.We are so excited about setting up he pool and Cant wait to get infected by a bite from the mosquitoes.

What ever happened in the court case ??????

Somebody finally bought it. Amen
