  2. June 2005, the structure was condemned by Building Official John Alcorn.
  3. March 2009, due to no action by the owner, a 2nd condemnation order was signed by Building Official Marc Meyers.
  4. April 2009, a permit to rehabilitate the structure was submitted to the City. It expired without the work being completed.

  8. July 2015, a petition signed by forty-five (45) neighbors was submitted to the City.
  9. February 2016, the City and Mr. Culverhouse signed an agreement with an action plan for the completion of the project with the stipulation that failure to comply with the timeframe would result in the revocation of the permit, the condemnation of the structure and the demolition of all the structural elements.
  10. January 2018, condemnation procedures were initiated against the property due to the continued nuisance conditions that have existed and the multiple complaints recieved from the neighbors.
