641 DR W J HODGE ST Demolition permit submitted

Louisville & Jefferson County Landbank has applied for a wrecking permit to demolish a 136-year-old, two-story single-family house at 641 Dr W J Hodge St (about 1,725 sq ft). The project, estimated at $38,340 and flagged as a danger to life, health, or property, still has seven required items pending — from erosion-control and a notarized demolition-notification affidavit to site-plan and photo submissions (including a visible yellow "Intent to Demolish" placard) and utility sign-offs from LG&E and AT&T — so crews can't start until those boxes are checked.
