The Hammond Board of Public Works and Safety on May 1 affirmed a notice of violation for property at 6936 Magoon Avenue after city inspectors found permit‑exceeding work.
An inspector (speaker 12) told the board that after a complaint and inspection, contractors at the Magoon Avenue property had been performing work beyond their permit scope, including installing an egress window and creating a basement bedroom that did not meet required ceiling‑height standards. Inspectors stopped the unauthorized work; subsequent inspections confirmed the nonconforming room has been removed. The board voted to affirm the order for removal.
Committee member (speaker 3) moved to approve the notice of violation and the motion carried by voice vote.
