Perkins trustees to hear appeal of Doerzbach Avenue demolition order Oct. 27

Perkins Township trustees have scheduled an Oct. 27 hearing on an appeal of a demolition order for a house at 220 Doerzbach Ave.

The hearing begins at 8:30 a.m. at the township administration building, 2610 Columbus Ave., according to a public notice posted by the township.

The notice says trustees adopted Resolution 2026-106 on Aug. 25, declaring the house unsafe and structurally defective and ordering its demolition. Property owner Minnie Matthews requested a hearing Sept. 21, according to the township.

The hearing is an opportunity to contest that order. The notice says parties with an interest in the property may appear, have a lawyer, present evidence and question witnesses.

The notice does not announce a decision on the appeal or a demolition date.
