Man seeks restraining order over city tear-down notice
La Crosse man Richard A. Saltz files in circuit court to block the city building inspector from requiring him to raze a dwelling he says he does not own. Saltz claims the home at 1907 Avon St belonged to his deceased mother Esther M. Saltz and that probate has not designated an executor or administrator or heirs. He disputes the inspector's finding that the property is beyond repair and a hearing before Judge Peter Pappas is set for Tuesday.
