Trenton Building and Nuisance Board meets February 27

The Trenton Building and Nuisance Board met in open session on Monday, February 27 at 6 p.m. at city hall. Chairman David Mlika presided over the meeting.

Under declaration of a nuisance, code enforcement officer Wes Barone reported that nothing had been done to property at 302 E. 10th Street owned by Lolo Tuiaki. Tires need to be hauled off, there is broken glass in the yard and windows and doors are not secure. It was decided to grant a 30-day extension for improvements on the property.

Bobby Morgans was present to discuss property at 1432 Main owned by Barbara Morgans. Mr. Morgans requested a 30day extension to work on the property. The board granted his request.

Under public hearing, Mr. Morgans spoke on property at 403 E. 9th Street owned by Barbara Morgans. He stated that they will be tearing this house down. The board voted to move this property to findings of fact.

Property at 506 Jackson was discussed with owner Mele Tuiaki, who was at the meeting and said they would like to put plywood over the windows and make sure the doors are secure. Barone said the house needs a lot of work or it can be put on the city demolition program. It was decided to grant a 30-day extension for the work proposed to be done.

Property at 1801 Chicago, owned by Melanie Avery, was moved to findings of fact after a neigh- bor, who was present at the meeting, questioned what was going to happen to this house. Barone said the owner is wanting to sell.

Under findings of fact, property at 405 E. 22nd Street, owned by Chris Stanturf, was placed under certificate of existence of dangerous building after Barone stated he has not heard from the owner.

Under certificate of existence of dangerous building, Barone said certificates have been filed on properties at 1422 Tindall Ave., owned by Steve and Rebecca Oakleaf; 1703 E. 2nd Street, owned by Janice Garrison; and 704 E. 17th Street, owned by Monica and Roger Triplet.

Under new business, Mary Axtell was in attendance at the meeting and requested that property at

1615 Lulu be checked out.

Harry Kately requested police look at the houses on Mable Street south of 16th Street.

Upon recommendation by Barone, property at 824 Custer, owned by Sione Penitani and Lose Unu, was declared a nuisance.

Lt. Larry Smith, with the Trenton Police Department, said they have investigated nine nuisance incidents so far this year.

City Administrator Ron Urton explained the policy that he was presenting to the council on removing services from dangerous buildings if a certificate had been filed on it.

When asked why she chose NCMC, Lexi said, “It’s the type of college I wanted to be at, and it’s close to home. I’ve enjoyed being able to be at home and use my A+. It’s a great institution. My favorite thing is all the support you get from faculty, students, and staff. I felt at home and comfortable the second I started going here.”
