The Columbus City Attorney s Office boarded up eight properties Friday tied to an accused pill-mill doctor, including one-half of a duplex that was the site of two homicides.
All eight properties are owned by Jose Villavicencio, of the Southeast Side. Villavicencio is a former doctor who was stripped of his medical license in 2012 for operating a pill-mill clinic at the South German Village Medical Center, 1730 S. High St.
The eight properties were boarded up Friday after the city attorney s office obtained an emergency order Thursday from Franklin County Environmental Court, a specialized, court created to streamline oversight and adjudication of housing code violations.
