| The Building Department has received complaints from concerned citizens regarding the above-referenced property. Upon investigation the structure located thereon has been deemed an unsafe structure and needs to be repaired or removed to deny entry and protect the health, safety and welfare of the general public (see attached pictures). The Building Department has attempted to contact the property owners, Michael B. Holliday, Hyattsville, MD, Barrajean A. Holliday, Fort Washington, MD, Donna L. Dangerfield, last known address Woodland, PA, Joseph K. Holliday, Jr., last known address Little Rock, AR, Queen Ann Rogers, Washington, DC, Delores H.

The fees or costs associated with this may be recovered by the County on parity with a tax lien. The Building Department requests that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution directing the property owners to remove or repair the structure within thirty (30) days and to authorize the expenditure of funds to remove or repair the structure should the property owners fail to act. |
