City officials will hold a nuisance abatement hearing Monday morning with Green Skyline Apartments LLC, the company that owns the 12-story building at 753 James St. That company is owned by Tim and Troy Green.
“Input from the public is an important part of this process. It will help ensure the property owner is held accountable and that conditions at the property are improved,” Walsh said.
