North Judson Takes Legal Action Over Unsafe Properties

img_3826The Town of North Judson is proceeding with legal action over a couple properties deemed to be unsafe. A legal notice has been published that the town is suing the owners of 205 and 207 Lane Street.

Doug Cassel had been instructed to fix several safety hazards at the property, including a broken window, unsecured doors, falling debris, and roofing issues. Town Attorney Rachel Arndt declined to elaborate further on the lawsuit Monday, but she did say a hearing is scheduled for Monday, November 21 in Starke Circuit Court.

Meanwhile, Arndt will also be assisting the town with legal action on 302 Jones Street, following approval by the town council Monday. During the meeting, it was reported that the owner of 302 Jones Street had not made the improvements requested by the town. Owner Bryan Dollahan was not present to provide an update.
