🔥 Top Scoops in Louisville, KY

An emergency demolition order has been issued for 4511 Lake Dreamland Rd, a vacant former residence owned by Louisville & Jefferson County Landbank, with work scheduled from March 13 to April 13, 2026. The asbestos permit for this single-story, 1,564‑sq‑ft structure (built in 1946) allows regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) to remain in place during demolition but requires Aesthetic Industrial Contracting to minimize disturbance, keep materials adequately wet, containerize and promptly dispose of debris at WM Outer Loop Landfill, and avoid tracked vehicles on the rubble. Daily disposal is expected (about 7 cubic yards) and the record emphasizes that all demolition debris must be treated as RACM, so crews will be following strict abatement and disposal rules.

Owner Gibbs Carvez is listed on an open property maintenance case at 1005 S 28th St after tenants reported a three-year plumbing nightmare. Complainants say the landlord kept putting a band‑aid on the problem but sewage has been backing up into tubs, sinks, toilets and even pooling in the backyard; MSD reportedly worked on the line recently yet overnight sump pumps (replaced more than once) and running water continued. Tenants say they’ve had to empty the house and send the kids elsewhere, and that the landlord has refused to provide a lease for three years, leaving them unsure of their rights.

Messer Construction Co., represented by Trevor S. Pitts, will be renovating the Clubhouse Apartments at 2320 Crittenden Drive with both interior and exterior work. The project, owned by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, runs from May 1, 2026 to June 1, 2028 and will require extended lane and sidewalk closures on Crittenden Drive (between University Blvd and Eastern Pkwy) plus turning lane and sidewalk closures at the University Blvd–Crittenden and Crittenden–Eastern Pkwy intersections. Temporary or relocated crosswalks will be added to keep pedestrians moving, so expect some altered walking routes and traffic adjustments while crews are on site.
