To Whom it May Concern,
On January 21, 2021, the Structural Inspection Board reviewed the above structures described above according to Article 11.04 (Unsafe Structures) of the City Code.
Based on an inspection by member(s) of the Board, these structures were determined to be in violation of articles 11.04.010 (a).

The Structural Inspection Board will recommend that Oak Hill City Council issue an order directing you to demolish the structures. It is advisable that you appear at the Council meeting to show cause why you should not be ordered to demolish the structures if you disagree with the Structural Inspection Board. If you have any questions you may contact my office.
Council will discuss the Board’s recommendation after this notice has been publicized once a week beginning March 18, 2021 and ending April 1, 2021 in the Fayette Tribune.
