Two more properties in disrepair have made it on to the City's naughty list this month, with City Council members set to review a recommendation from City staff towards removal.
As part of the Agenda for tonight's Council session, Rosa Miller, the Director of Corporate and Legislative Services will outline the recommendation for removal of properties at 201- 2nd Avenue West and 1913 7th Avenue East.
As can be noted from the photo atop this piece, the Second Avenue West property is a commercial property in the downtown core, that of the former Mohawk Gas and Connivence station which closed a number of years ago and has been closed off to the public ever since.
The Second property is a residence in dilapidated condition on 7th Avenue East on the City's east side.
In both cases, the City plans to place the the costs of removal for the city on the property taxes for each.
If adopted by Council, Owners of the two properties will have fourteen days to contact the city prior to any commencement of removal.
The Two Removal orders can be reviewed from the City's Agenda package, the reports starting on page 10 of the Agenda include a number of photos of the condition of the buildings in question.

One other high profile structure on the previous demolition orders list continues to have internal preparation work take place. The Angus Apartments on Second West are currently covered in a white wrapping that as removal of hazardous material continues inside.
The last update on the progress for demolition of that structure came as part of the January 8th Council session, where it was relayed that it would take close to three months before the actual demolition work would commence.
