Koppel Building & Construction Compa is the listed owner after a caller reported storage units at 134 Outer Loop were converted into apartment-style units. The complaint says the units have no windows and only a single door, the owner is reportedly charging $700 per month with utilities included, and tenants are being found by word of mouth rather than advertised — zoning and permit staff have been notified.
1st Step Recovery LLC has an emergency-order demolition planned at 220 S 23rd St, scheduled August 12–September 12, 2026, with Aesthetic Industrial Contracting, Inc. listed as the abatement contractor and waste hauler and WM Outer Loop Landfill as the disposal site. Because the single-story 1875-built structure contains friable asbestos (about 2,024 sq ft), the permit allows RACM to remain during demolition but requires wet-method work, minimizing disturbance, containerizing and prompt disposal of debris (about 8 cubic yards daily), treating all demolition material as regulated asbestos-containing material, and forbids tracked vehicles on the debris — basically a careful, damp teardown rather than a smash-and-run.
An emergency asbestos demolition has been ordered by Louisville Metro for the vacant former residence at 222 S 23rd Street, treating the entire 1,556-square-foot, one-story structure (built 1888) as RACM — regulated asbestos-containing material. Aesthetic Industrial Contracting, Inc. is the abatement contractor and waste hauler with Outer Loop Landfill as the disposal site; work is scheduled from August 12 to September 12, 2026, will use wet methods, and owner Eddie & Kay Huber are listed with outstanding permit fees totaling $2,354.66.
