APPEAL BY DEBRA ROBINSON REGARDING THE UNSAFE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT
106 7th STREET.
Debra Robinson and Lavandolyn Robinson, 118 Cosby Court, spoke on the property at 106 7th
Street. Ms. Debra Robinson spoke on receiving two letters with the first letter being incorrect
and referenced the property across the street. Ms. Debra Robinson spoke on the past road
blocks hindering her from making progress on the property and seeking possible grant funds
to assist with repairs. Ms. Debra Robinson also advised she is currently in the process of
negotiating with licensed contractors for work on the structure.
Council President Boone, called Code Enforcement Officer Christopher Johnson to the podium
to discuss 106 7th Street. Mr. Johnson stated the case was opened on April 2, 2024, at which
time the Building Inspector Steve May inspected the property. When the first certified letter was
sent out, Ms. Robinson contacted the City Clerk’s office with concern of errors found in the
original letter. The City Clerk’s Office contacted Code Enforcement and the Building Inspector
to address the concerns. It was determined there was a mix up on two addresses across the
street from each other. The errors were addressed and corrected and on May 9, 2024, a new
notice of violation was sent by certified mail to Mr. Robinson with the correct violations and the
timeline was restarted. The signed notification of receipt of the notice was received on May 15,
2024. As of June 4, 2024, the file on the Unsafe Structure at 106 7th Street is correct and
