Anything from the city yet? It's been 8 days...

I have followed up, I will post an update as soon as they respond.

Any answers? There has been no action on this.

It has been MONTHS since the permit and status on this construction work was first in question. Several requests for updates have been ignored. What is the status of this permit?? It has been well over a year that this eyesore has been left unattended in our neighborhood. It is at approx. 3050 Medlin Drive, Raleigh.

What is going on with this? Still an unresolved situation along with the building across the street. When did it become ok as a Commercial property owner to not maintain your property? Commercial Property in a neighborhood should increase residential property value by creating amenities and neighborhood business and not drive down residential property value because the landlords refuse to follow laws and maintain their properties.

Someone said there may be an old gas tank underground too. Many years ago, there once was a gas station near the mini mart. If it leaked, it would go into the creek.

I heard the same thing.

A follow-up has been sent to Inspections.

RE: Mini Mart on south side of Medlin. I believe the fuel tank has been removed as required by law.

The construction picture seems to be the building on the North side, across from Crowley's.

VEC, would there be a record of its removal?

Also, the same property owner owns the "permit status" land across the street.

There would be a record of the tanks at the mini market being removed. Also where the old sunoco station around the corner. Examination of the parking lots shows pavement broken where the tanks were.

All known gas tanks in NC were removed. There may be a few on some farms, industrial sites, or where stations died in the early '50's.
Home heating fuel oil tanks are about the only actively untraced/documented underground tanks in NC .

An inspector investigated and initiated a public nuisance case on 9/6/2013/2013 with deadline of 9/19/2013.

Thank you! This has been going on for two years.

An inspector confirmed the violations cleared and case has been closed on 9/19/13.
