#1 Top Scoop Environmental Permit

320 S 41ST ST Emergency asbestos demolition order in progress

An emergency demolition order is in place for 320 S 41st St, owned by Billy Joe and Beverly Joan Jackson, to tear down a vacant two‑story former residence built around 1900. The asbestos permit lets regulated asbestos‑containing material (RACM) remain in place during demolition and requires Aesthetic Industrial Contracting to keep materials wet, containerize and dispose of debris daily (about 6 cubic yards) at WM Outer Loop Landfill, treat all demolition debris as RACM, and avoid using track vehicles on the debris. The record lists 3,557 sq. ft. of friable ACM, with work scheduled from 12/23/2025 to 01/23/2026 — so expect a careful, wet‑and‑contained teardown rather than a smash‑and‑dash.

#9 Top Scoop Demolition

423 N 42ND ST wrecking permit submitted

A wrecking permit has been submitted for 423 N 42nd St by owner Louisville & Jefferson County Land B to tear down a 78-year-old, single-family, two-story house — the project is estimated at $44,830 and lists Nicole Harris-Kirby as the licensed professional. The record flags the building as a danger to life, health or property (filed under a court order) and several required items are still pending — demolition photos and site plan, a notarized demolition notification affidavit, an EPSC form, and utility clearances from AT&T and LG&E — so crews won’t get the green light until those are cleared.
