(First Published November 15, 2018) TO: All Heirs and Devisees or Interested Parties of properties known as: 1307 CENTRAL AVE. 523 HIGH AVE. 132 S. ST. LOUIS 3035&3035 1/2 E. 12TH ST. You are hereby notified that the above structures owned by you have been inspected and posted as a "dangerous building" by the City of Joplin in accordance with the Housing Code, Building Code and Joplin City Code, Chapter 26, Article X. It is the opinion of the Building Department that the deterioration of these structures due to neglect, rot and vandalism is so severe that it would be economically unfeasible to rehabilitate. We therefore suggest demolition. A "demolition hearing" has been scheduled for December 7, 2018 in the Council Chambers at City Hall at 602 S Main, 5th Floor. You may present witnesses on your behalf and may offer testimony as to why the structure should not be declared a "dangerous building" and why it should not be demolished. You or your representative must appear and be heard at a "demolition hearing" in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 602 S Main, 5th Floor, Joplin, Missouri, at 9:00 a.m., on Friday, December 7, 2018. If the Board orders demolition the cost will be a personal debt of the owners, and/or be certified as a special tax bill against the property. Troy Bolander Planning and Community Development Manager (341)
