SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE ASSESSMENT OF COSTS FOR
THE DEMOLITION AND ABATEMENT OF DANGEROUS
STRUCTURES UPON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 125 E. 7TH
STREET WITHIN THE CITY OF PUEBLO AND SETTING A DATE FOR
COUNCIL HEARING THEREON
SUMMARY:
This Resolution will set a date for a public hearing regarding the assessment of costs
for the demolition of dangerous structures at 125 E. 7th Street in the City of Pueblo.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On November 23, 1998, by Ordinance No. 6369, City Council adopted with
modifications the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, 1997
Edition.
On December 11, 2023, by Resolution No. 15446, City Council approved the award of
a building demolition contract including the abatement of dangerous buildings on the
properties located at 125 E. 7th Street.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Chapter 13 of Title IV of the Pueblo Municipal Code and Chapter 8 of the
Uniform Code for Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, the Building Official has
determined the building(s) located at 125 E. 7th Street, respectively, were in a
dangerous condition, and after giving proper notice to the owner, requested the City of
Pueblo to demolish these buildings. The buildings have been demolished, and the
costs incurred by the City of Pueblo have been compiled by the Director of Public
Works in a Report of Demolition.

In accordance with Section 903 of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous
Buildings, 1997 Edition (as amended), a public hearing is required prior to making an
assessment to recover costs related to demolition work performed by the City of
Pueblo.
Passage of this Resolution will set a date for the required public hearing so that City
Council may hear the Reports of Demolition as well as any complaints, objections, or
protests filed by interested parties related to the projects.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Passage of this Resolution will have no direct financial impact upon the City of Pueblo.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The property at 125 E. 7th Street was inspected by the Building Official of Pueblo
Regional Building Department. Following the inspections, a condemnation Notice and
Order was served and posted, as required, for each property and the respective
property owners were provided an opportunity to appeal their Notice and Order. The
property owners failed to make the required repairs or to abate the dangerous buildings
on their properties. The Notice and Order documents were recorded for each property
in the records of the Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder. The cases were then referred
to the City of Pueblo with a request from the Building Official for the City to abate the
dangerous buildings on the said properties. The demolition work at 125 E. 7th Street
was completed in May 2024, and the total cost incurred by the City was $750,922.08.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this resolution is not approved, the City of Pueblo will not be able to hold the public
hearing required under Section 903 of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of
Dangerous Buildings prior to assessing the demolition project costs and the City will not
recover the costs associated with the completed project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
