Be happy that it got torn down, there was people living in it without permission, now all the smokers from the hospital do not have to be worried about the vagrants bothering them while throw their cigarette butts all over the place. the place will get cleaned up and be a better and safer place.
Complain about all the smokers who litter the area with nasty butts. it is disgusting.

@taxpayer: I am aware of the situation with squatters, individuals smoking and discarding butts on the ground, and other violations happening near or on this property. That stated, none of those factors are relevant to this code ticket. If a property is demolished, there needs to be an immediate plan enacted for clean-up of the demolished property. A single line of rope with a "No Trespassing" sign is not sufficient. I'm not sure what happened with this Lindemuth property that it was torn down but allowed to remain in a dangerous and highly visible pile for weeks.The City has acknowledged this ticket and hopefully there will be action on removal of the rubble within the next week.

Hopefully the place will get cleaned up and be safe for all parties!

@taxpayer: agreed! and I'm really with you on the smoking and cigarette butts. Living near the hospital properties, our neighborhood is flooded each weekday with workers who smoke. Nothing against them as people but it is very disappointing to see them and others discard their butts on the ground, flick them from cars, etc. It takes the efforts of all of us to keep our city looking sharp and litter of all forms should be properly disposed of.

We need an update on this ticket. Nothing has changed with this property. It is still a heap of demolished house with no evidence of a clean-up plan in the works.

We have sent a notice to the owner giving them time to make the corrections. We will extend this ticket to 10-10-17 to give another update.

City of Topeka, thanks for the update. What is the plan with this property? It is in a highly visible area with hundreds of people traveling by it all day. It is inadequately secured with debris spilling out of the loosely roped perimeter. When we as a community talk about the need to proactively get on top of blight issues in Topeka, this property is exactly the type of situation that comes to mind. If there is no movement in getting the debris removed by 10-10, what's the next step? I appreciate the follow-up on this. Thank you.

We are still waiting for timelines to expire. We will extend this ticket to 10-20-17 to give another update.

thanks for the update. It appears that most of the debris from the house itself has been cleared and removed however the foundation and the open pit of the house basement remains. There's been no activity for over a week now in regards to removal. It's every bit the eyesore it was before some debris was removed. This brings me back to the question: what happens if the property owner doesn't complete the work of safely and completely cleaning up this demolished home?

good lord Scarlett move on already

I'll move on when this wreck of a property is properly cleaned-up and in full compliance with code enforcement.

Iinspector has been in contact with Paul, Lindenmuths Attorney. This violation is complete with exception to some tires that need to be removed. The demo is still waiting for the contractor to finish filling the rest of the hole where the house was and the wood fence needs to be repaired and painted or removed. We will extend this ticket to 12-26-17 for another update.

this property has been cleaned and the case is now closed.
