( KLZA)--Falls City Council members approved two action items Monday evening concerning nuisance properties in Falls City.

The Council approved a request from the City Attorney to be allowed to file necessary documents to file a lien for costs associated with the removal of an unsafe structure at 1813 McLean Street.  

The house was removed  at a cost of $8,700 with a total cost to the City of just over $9-thousand.

Council members also approved having the City Attorney file necessary documents to remove unsafe structures at 1102 Barada Street. City Administrator Gary Jorn sent a letter to the property owner identifying the deficiencies with the structures, and asked the buildings be brought into compliance.

Since that time the property owner has removed all the doors and windows leaving it wide open.

A civil abatement action will be filed, allowing the City to remove the structures if approved by the court.

There is a house and a garage on the property.
