Six Hartford City Teardown Cases Move Through Court
From the Hartford City Property Standards Board meeting on November 10, 2026
Six Hartford City teardown cases were moving through the court process as the Property Standards Board prepared to go without regular meetings until February.
City Attorney Tyler Rotstein told the board that four hearings were scheduled for that afternoon, November 10. The schedule put 721 South Richmond at 1 p.m. and Greenbrier lot 18 at 1:30 p.m. Hearings for 709 Greenbrier and 808 Greenbrier were scheduled for 2 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., respectively.
Two other properties, 805 West Barber and 625 Greenbrier Drive, were in the court process for teardown hearings expected in January. The board had approved teardown orders for those two properties on August 12, beginning a 60-day notice process.
The November session followed an October decision to move the hearing to November 10 at 10 a.m. Chairman Ron Dudelston said the board would not meet in December or January. Its next regular meeting would be in February.
Dudelston also said Ordinance Control Officer Dennis Maddox was expected back in March, though the mayor could bring him back earlier.
