Notice of violation has been sent to listed property owner citing them for having several housing violations. The owner has 45 days to comply. I am extending ticket out until then to add updates.
Thanks!

Thanks !! It may take a personal contact. Maybe a phone call if possible.
The owners have found ways not to comply for years

A notice has been sent to the owner, giving them 45 days to make the corrections. We are extending this ticket to 10-25-17 to give another update.

We are still waiting on timelines to expire. We will extend this ticket to 11-13-17 to give another update.

The city keeps giving the owner more time to do something. This has been going on for years.
I think it will take personal contact by the city. Just sending notices has resulted in nothing.

You can expect an update on your service request on approximately 2017-12-14T20:35:00.

We haven't actually given an extension on this case. We have timelines to follow which can take a while. We have to notify owners according to the law. In this case, we had to publish after notification which does extend the time. We will extend this ticket to 12-14-17 for another update.

The house refrenced is open in the back and is a mess and is open for anyone to come and go. Nobody has lived there as long as i ever knew. The house is owned by a lady with alzheimers that lives in a home. She refuses to sell it and it keeps getting worse every year. I used to live by it. Nothing has ever been done other than cleaning up the front yard occasionaly. I wouldnt expect the city to accomplish anything and get anything significant done with this.

You delay action time after time. If you would give information on why?
I am being to wonder if SeeClickFix is really doing anything.

Owner did not show up to Ct. There is now a bench warrant for her. I am trying to contact her family member to see if there is anything they can help with. I am also going to have our special structures department look at it again. There is more deterioration since it was last inspected by them.

In the last couple of years this property has just been totally abandoned. Must worse shape now.
Hoping this slow process used by the city/courts/etc will accomplish getting what is now a real eyesore removed or repaired. ????

this property is still in the Ct. system.

It has been over a year on my inquiry.
All I have received is a several delayed dates for the court to get some action.
What is the problem ?

You can expect an update on your service request on approximately 2018-12-28T15:45:00.

owner is working with the court to resolve the housing issue. I will update as I know more.

This house continues to deteriorate. The dormer (which faces the street) is falling apart to the point that this house is open to the elements. The city does appear to have issued any status updates in 8 months.

This whole mess certainly means we need some improvements in how the city handles houses which have been decaying for years.
Bottom line the city has pushed any action forward year after year. Now you say it is up to the court system.
For over 25 years always some reason to get nothing done.
How can this be good for our neighbor?
Is anyone in city employment taking action?

we made contact with the owner. She requested copies of the violations and states she is going to have someone look at the property. I will be checking back with her in 14 days

You can expect an update on your service request on approximately 2019-06-03T15:45:00.

I have not been able to make contact with the owner. I will continue to try to make contact to see if I can find out what her plan is for the house.

You can expect an update on your service request on approximately 2019-08-05T15:45:00.

On 4/29 you made contact with the owner. At that time a phone number and an appropriate address should have been received or requested! With the house being in the condition it is the city is just continuing to receive the property taxes. I live in a neighborhood where we had a house and the lady lived in California. When the house got shabby somehow the house got painted in the back and she had it regularly mowed. I say fortunately or should I say unfortunately I believe she passed away. And the family ended up selling the house and the house has been up kept from the individuals who just moved in this year. To me this house sounds like and abandoned home, a place where rodents or children can go into where children can get hurt or I can say the druggies can hang out, and maybe if the druggies go in the house may catch on fire unfortunately. But that's not what we want. I do not know who Vern is, but why this is taking so long to resolve is actually ridiculous! Maybe this is something we can bring up to the city council member in that part of town? Better yet take it to the media Vern. Media loves these kind of stories. They will continue to follow up more quickly than the city would. My aunt had an issue for over a year, about a safety issue in the back of her alley. She had the news people out there and I'll guarantee you the next day they were working on her complaint that she made to the city and by the end of the week it was totally totally totally completed. So, not sure if our comments are really rad are just responded with the automated responses that we always get, I hope you read this and advise us as citizens of Topeka what we really can do to resolve this issue!

to keep you updated due process has ran its coarse and this case has been forwarded to the City Prosecutors office for prosecution. Further more there is a open weed case on the property which the city will mow once it due process is served.

Property has been posted with new case in hopes that the owner will reply. I will update at follow up inspection.

Property has been sold, new owner is working on the house. It is completely enclosed now. I will be monitoring this property. I am closing this ticket.

Thank you for submitting this request (#67855). It has been addressed and is now closed. If you have any questions, please call us at 785-368-3111.

Yes! Thank you for getting this house sold. It certainly took a long time. Surely the new owner with bring this house back and get someone living in the home.
Maybe this mess has brought in some new laws which with enable the city to move quicker. The city and all citizens need methods to get abandoned houses either sold or destroyed.
I also appreciate that you plan to follow up and please keep us all informed
