🔥 Top Scoops in Louisville, KY

University of Louisville Science Collaboration is planning a mass wrecking of the two‑story commercial building at 615 S Preston St — a roughly 24,000‑square‑foot, 56‑year‑old structure owned by the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the university. The Type B demolition, estimated at $150,000 and overseen by licensed professional Jaime Monk, is submitted but still needs the usual paperwork: utility sign‑offs from LG&E and AT&T, demolition photos and a site plan, plus a notarized demolition notification.

Owner Gregory J. Hawthorne is applying to extend his existing 6' vinyl (PVC) privacy fence at 4215 Sunset Dr, with the project estimated at $3,050. The fence will be 6' tall for 21' past the front threshold, then drop to 4' for another 22' and terminate 2' before the street (the 6' section will sit about 24' back so it shouldn’t block driver visibility); the homeowner says the addition is meant to limit sightlines into a neighboring yard that has clutter and a history of disputes.

An emergency order demolition is planned at 1443 Hemlock St to take down a vacant two‑story residence built in 1912 owned by Sanders Lamarrick Leon, with work scheduled to begin 11/24/2025 and wrap up around 12/24/2025. Aesthetic Industrial Contracting, Inc. is listed as the abatement and waste hauler; the permit notes Regulated Asbestos‑Containing Material (RACM) may remain in place during demolition, so crews must keep materials wet, containerize and promptly dispose of debris, and avoid tracked vehicles on the pile. Daily disposal (about 10 cubic yards) is headed to WM Outer Loop Landfill, and the whole 2,079 sq ft structure is being treated as asbestos‑affected.
