🔥 Top Scoops in Louisville, KY

Chick-fil-A is moving forward with a retaining wall permit for its Brownsboro Road project at 10003 Ballardsville Rd, on property owned by Deerfield Co The. The permit covers a 9.5-foot concrete-block retaining wall with an estimated cost of $50,000, and the record includes notices requiring a separate hood/suppression permit for three proposed kitchen hoods (AMFEMS must witness testing before any Certificate of Occupancy) plus a passing fire-hydrant flow/pressure report from the contractor before vertical construction. In plain terms, they’re shoring up the site and lining up the fire and kitchen approvals before the building goes up.

Wayside Christian Mission, owner of the shelter at 432 E Jefferson St, is the subject of an open property-maintenance/code-violation complaint alleging bedbug problems in the facility’s bunks. A guest reports the bunks are worn and exposed, found at least eight bugs by shining a phone light, says their luggage was infested and left bite marks (they provided photos), and notes the shelter lacks basic pest-prevention like mattress covers or storage for guests. The report has been filed so city inspectors can follow up.

Vanguard Haven LLC owns the one-story wood-framed building at 823 S Jackson St, which was severely fire-damaged and now has a collapsing roof and exterior wall. The city has posted it for emergency demolition because those failures threaten an occupied neighboring property; the demolition case is open and no project cost is listed.
