A petition of 30 neighbors demands immediate demolition or condemnation of dilapidated houses on Fredrick and Beech Streets. The Board of Zoning Appeals ruled for condemnation, while Wright’s Grant Street property may be spared until July 1. Fire damage at a Nap Hill Laundromat caused $25 in losses. City Manager Gosney cites potential disciplinary action against Beech Street owner Merle Heffelman and says a consequence could follow if improvements aren’t made within weeks.
