An emergency demolition has been ordered for the vacant former residence at 2223 Hale Ave, owned by Terry Lee Chambers, with work scheduled roughly from January 29 to March 1, 2026. Because the 1915, one‑story house (about 2,837 sq ft) contains friable regulated asbestos‑containing material (RACM), Aesthetic Industrial Contracting will handle abatement under strict rules: keep materials wet, containerize and promptly dispose of waste daily at WM Outer Loop Landfill, and avoid driving tracked vehicles over demolition debris. The city stresses minimizing disturbance and treating all demolition debris as RACM, so expect a careful, controlled teardown rather than a quick knockdown.
An emergency order demolition has been issued for 2225 Hale Ave under owner Kids Lawn Land Trust, with Aesthetic Industrial Contracting listed as the abatement contractor and WM Outer Loop Landfill set for disposal. Because regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) may remain in place during the teardown, crews must minimize disturbance, keep materials adequately wet, containerize and promptly dispose of debris, avoid tracked vehicles on the rubble, and treat all demolition debris as RACM; the work is scheduled from January 29 to March 1, 2026.
Lazy Acres Mobile Homes LP faces an open property‑maintenance complaint at 7215 Home Park Dr after a caller reported chronic water shutoffs and newly installed uninsulated water meters that left lines susceptible to freezing. Residents say they've been without water for 9–10 days and without heat because crews can’t access under the mobile homes while water issues persist. The complaint also flags drainage problems and an allegation that sewage is being emptied into a ditch on the property, and the case is open for follow‑up.
