Court Won't Review Porch Case Appeal In Cedar Rapids
Leroy Molitor seeks to overturn Cedar Rapids Building Board of Appeals ruling over his porch repairs begun in 1964. Judge Honsell ruled Linn District Court lacks jurisdiction and the state has not granted authority for housing ordinance appeals. Molitor’s lawyer considers Supreme Court or alternate district court routes, but cites prohibitive costs. City argues no legal basis to appeal and council may decide later.
