Village of Pleasantville, Ohio

Public Notice

The Village is happy to share the following:

The village has been given the authority to raze the buildings at 216 S Main Street, which is a mess of a property with noxious weeds, deteriorating buildings, and a breeding ground for unwanted animals. The village uses the International Property Maintenance Code 2012 (IPMC) to regulate properties and determine if they need to be condemned and/or razed. Once this property is razed, it will improve the look of our village on S. Main Street and at some point, it will become a parcel for a new build.

Over the next few weeks, there will be different inspectors on the property to perform required testing prior to the demo company coming in to tear down. The cost of this project can be upwards of $15,000.00 which uses taxpayers’ money and the total cost will be assessed to the tax duplicate for reimbursement once the property sales.

This is the third home that your village mayor and his team have condemned, had razed, and prepared the open lot for potential sale for a new home build. The village will continue to work to improve the village using the IPMC to ensure that property owners take care of their properties or face fines and possible jail time. In the worst cases, where the property is beyond repair, the mayor will condemn the property and take the property owner to court to have the buildings torn down. If you would like to file a complaint on a property, please contact our village offices at 740-468-2237 and the inspector will review for any possible action allowable per local or state codes.
