Owners of dilapidated buildings get final notice:

An ordinance to fight blight and reduce the number of eyesore houses in Colorado Springs neighborhoods is being put to its first test.


Since the City Council passed the ordinance in April 2006, code enforcement officers have inspected about 120 houses and apartments on the city’s condemned property list.

An owner of two dilapidated four-plexes is threatening to take the city to court — El Paso County Commissioner Douglas Bruce.

It puzzles Lewis that some owners, such as Bruce, don’t simply comply because he said the city isn’t asking much.


“If he would just take the plywood off his windows and replace it with expanded metal, he’d be in compliance,” Lewis said. “We forced him to put the boards on in 2003. That was under the old code. The new code requires heavy screen so fire and police can see in vacant buildings.”

1. so he's going to take this thing to court rather than change the kind of covering he has over his

windows? And who pays for that ultimately? Isn't it always the conservatives who hate the frivilous lawsuits?

Oh right! It's THIS guy!

2. He's a second rate Tom Delay

Slum Lord that burdened Colorado with the Tabor Amendment. He's anti-tax, anti-government because it affects his slum properties. He kicked a Rocky Mtn News photographer for taking his picture and has recently had a sexual harassment complaint filed against him. He's a really sweet guy.

3. dougie is no longer a commissioner--the el paso county gop, in its infinite

stupidity, made him a state representative, where he has covered himself in crap.
