The council considered multiple consent resolutions declaring structures public nuisances and authorizing demolition and related cost-fixing items.

During the consent agenda, the clerk read items declaring several structures public nuisances and ordering demolition (consent resolutions 40 14 52 through 14 54 and related cost-fixing items). A council member (Speaker 6) asked whether the administration could provide an average cost estimate to secure properties rather than demolish them.

Administration (Speaker 7) said costs vary by site but estimated securing properties might average "anywhere from 5 to $10,000," noting that larger or two-story structures would cost more and that the first three structures recommended for demolition have major structural failures, making demolition the recommended action for those sites.

The transcript also recorded a separate recommendation to table the demolition order for 506 Patton Avenue to give the property owner time to repair, based on an existing permit from the owner. The council did not record final demolition votes in the provided portion of the transcript; administration recommended demolition for structures with major structural failure and provided the securing-cost ranges to assist council deliberation.
