Hammond board grants 90-day rehab extension for property at 12191 50th Street

Hammond’s board on Feb. 12 approved a 90-day extension for rehabilitation work at 12191 50th Street and set a status hearing for May 7, 2026.

Speaker 4 described the property’s history, saying it had moved on and off the demolition list and had a dilapidated rear area previously; the rear garage has since been removed. Speaker 7 said interior work is underway and that framing and insulation inspections were completed prior to the last hearing; staff recommended the extension and proposed an early-May status date. "They did have their framing and insulation inspection, prior to the last board hearing," Speaker 7 said.

The board discussed whether to give 60 or 90 days but settled on a date of May 7 to allow additional time for completion and inspection. A motion to approve the extension and set the matter for status on 05/07/2026 passed by voice vote.

Next step: staff will return on May 7 with a status report and will attempt to force an inspection before that date if contractor or owner contact remains limited.
