City cites 20 properties for cleanup

By Bill Moss, Published: June 7, 2013

The Hendersonville City Council ordered the cleanup or removal of nuisance conditions of 20 properties at the property owner's expense during its regular meeting on Thursday.

Zoning Administrator Susan Frady had notified the property owners of the nuisance condition and the problem was not corrected, she said in a memo to the council. This time of year, most nuisance conditions are the result of overgrown yards and tall weeds. In some cases, the city will cite yards or lots full of trash.

City officials say the problem is made harder to remedy because they often cannot reach personnel at banks and other financial institutions that own vacant foreclosed property. The council ordered the cleanup of 20 properties, charging the cost to the property owner. The charge if unpaid remains a lien on the property.
