Property at 608 Madison Street Faces Lien for Unresolved Blight and Structural Issues
This is a second hearing concerning code violations at 608 Madison Street, a property previously cited in January 2025. Violations include deteriorated structure with rotten wood (Section 3169), failure to register the blighted structure (Section 3215), and ongoing roofing issues (Section 30-32A). The property owners, Merced Mitchell and JW Roberts Jr., were absent. The property has been boarded up for nearly 30 years. Despite some minor improvements (grass cut, small roofing repair), the primary issues remain unaddressed. The city is seeking to place an official lien on the property for accumulated fines totaling $10,800, with fines continuing at $250 per day per violation. The property is not homesteaded.
Property Owner Brandon Mock Faces Lien for Unresolved Roof and Window Violations at 21104 Kirby Street
Brandon Mock is facing a second hearing regarding violations at 21104 Kirby Street, specifically roof disrepair (Section 30-32A10) and broken windows (Section 30-171A). Two original violations (abandoned vehicles and trash/debris) were corrected, stopping fines for those specific issues. However, the roof issues persist with only minor repairs, and broken windows remain unaddressed, with temporary fixes like plywood and tape. The property is occupied by the owner and his girlfriend. The city is seeking to place a lien on the property for accumulated fines totaling $7,000, with fines continuing at $25 per day per violation until compliance.
Rusty Gold Corporation Faces Fines for Tires, Abandoned Vehicles, and Unsafe Container at 2811 Peters Street
This case addresses multiple violations at 2811 Peters Street, including trash and debris, abandoned vehicles, and an abandoned 'ConX box' (shipping container). The property is zoned for industrial use. The violations observed on May 1st, 2026, include Section 30-32A (trash and debris, tires), Section 30-32 Bravo (abandoned vehicles), and Section 30-642 (abandoned ConX box). The owner, Jason Kismoki of Rusty Gold Corporation, was present. The magistrate imposed deadlines for compliance: 7 days for the ConX box (to be locked), 45 days for tires and vehicles. Fines are set at $100 per violation per day. The ConX box is considered a safety hazard due to its airtight door design. The owner brought 2,000 tires onto the property, which were not dry or clean, posing a health hazard. The property is 3 acres and is not homesteaded.

The property owner was given until August 20th, 2026, to comply, with potential fines of $75 per day per violation if non-compliance occurs.
