Hamburg City Council voted Monday, April 26 to condemn several structures that they declared a nuisance to public health or safety.
City Attorney Paul Keith said the city has the authority to do so under a 1994 ordinance that allows the city to abate properties that constitute such a threat.
The property owners were contacted by letter informing them of the meeting at which their properties would be considered for condemnation and about what would happen at the meeting, Keith said.
Once the city condemns a property, the owner has 30 days to remedy the situation themselves or the city will move in and abate the nuisance and then place a lien on the property to recoup the cost.

Under Senate Joint Resolution 10, the legislature would be able to convene in an extraordinary session without needing the governor to call them in. A joint proclamation of the Speaker of the House and President Pro Tempore of the Senate would be enough to bring lawmakers together.
