City approves demolition of three hazardous properties after building‑safety findings

City staff presented evidence that three structures in Clovis constitute public‑safety hazards and recommended abatement by demolition. The Department of Building Safety described burning, structural collapse risk and unsecured windows/doors at 1318 Hinkle and 3008 Weston; at 1405 West Grand two Quonset‑hut structures were described as collapsed, leaking and storing rotting material with strong odors affecting nearby residents.

The city attorney explained the abatement process and indicated staff would first seek voluntary remediation by the property owners; if owners fail to act, the city will proceed with demolition and seek cost recovery. The commission moved, seconded and adopted the three resolutions unanimously, directing staff to commence owner notification and abatement steps.
