With Monday’s judicial sale in the rear-view mirror, the City of Warren can now get properties moving along its blighted property process.

First declarations of blight were passed against three properties and a second declaration was approved against another during Thursday’s meeting of the Blighted Property Review Committee.

Two additional properties were tabled as they changed ownership at the tax sale, one was tabled with the hope that repairs would be completed by the next meeting and two notices were approved to be sent to property owners indicating that their property is under consideration for a blight declaration.

237 Buchanan St., 5/11 1/2 East St. and 908 Fourth Ave. were the properties against which a first declaration of blight was approved by the committee.

Properties at 110 Conewango Ave. and 1507 Pennsylvania Ave. E. were continued as the property was acquired at judicial sale.

A second declaration was tabled against the 20 Conewango Ave. property owned by Carl Devlieger.

Devlieger told the Committee that a roof has been placed on the structure since the last meeting.

“The roof was the primary issue at first declaration,” he said. “The construction has gone forward.”

Devlieger said he has some work to complete to the exterior that he expects to be done by the end of October.

The Committee decided to table the property to the October meeting and consider removing it from blighted status if the work is completed.

A second declaration was approved against 708 W. Fifth Ave.

Two properties were brought to the Committee for the first time on Wednesday.

Code Official Ken Hinton said the ownership of 515 W. Fifth Ave. is “very convoluted.”

He said the two owners on the deed are deceased and a son said the property was sold to Frank Geiger and Joyce Miles, who the city issued an order to demolish several years ago. He said that the Martin family say that they sold it on land contract, which is counter to county assessment records.

A fire ravaged 706 W. Fifth Ave. in 2014. Hinton said neighbors informed him that the owner has walked away from the property and believes that Hinton is on a personal vendetta against him.

Regarding those two properties, the committee decided to serve notice that the properties are being considered for first declaration of blight.
