HUNTINGTON â The city of Huntington filed an amended complaint Friday against owners of a 10th Avenue property that was the site of a double homicide last year.
The amended complaint adds Albert Cremeans to the lawsuit the city had against Gary Stanley to seek a permanent injunction against the property located at 2005 10th Ave.
The property is formally known as Garyâs Place and was declared a public nuisance by the City Council in 2017 due to violent crimes associated with the business. The building was put up for sale but was not sold.
In that time, Stanley leased the building to two other tenants who opened illegal bars. In 2020, a double homicide occurred at the property, which was at least the third homicide at the location in the past decade.
HUNTINGTON â Huntington City Council passed two ordinances regarding business licenses during its Monday night meeting in response to businesses that operated illegally within the city and had violence occur on their premises.
The first ordinance is about post-business license inspections. Under the ordinance, the mayor or his or her designee can â within a month of a license issuance â inspect a business premises âto determine whether the business is being conducted in a manner consistent with the licensing information and in a lawful manner.â The ordinance says more inspections can follow the initial one. This ordinance was passed on Monday night with an 10-1 vote, with Councilman Dale Anderson II being the only nay vote.
