The Delaware County Unsafe Building Authority held a meeting on September 21, 2026, focusing primarily on addressing unsafe and dilapidated properties within the county. The board discussed multiple properties with significant safety and maintenance issues, including those with fire damage, structural decay, and code violations. Key procurement-related actions included motions to issue demolition orders with specified response times (typically 30 days) for property owners to either begin rehabilitation or allow the county to solicit bids for demolition. The board reviewed and approved moving forward with demolition bids for several properties, including one with a low bid of $9,600 that was later withdrawn, prompting consideration of the second-lowest bid at $17,000. The meeting also addressed challenges in locating property owners, posting legal notices, and coordinating with courts for enforcement. Additionally, the board discussed ongoing efforts to manage liens, tax sales, and coordination with health and fire departments. No new contracts were awarded during the meeting, but several action items were approved to proceed with bid solicitations and demolition orders. The meeting concluded with plans to continue monitoring compliance and court actions for non-responsive property owners.
