BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES
OF THE CITY OF JEFFERSON, MISSOURI
IN RE:
307 JACKSON STREET
JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI
CITY OF JEFFERSON,
Plaintiff,
vs.
MARCELLOUS KRONK,
Defendant.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
FINDINGS OF FACT
Based upon the evidence presented at the March 16, 2021 hearing, the Hearing Examiner
makes the following findings of fact:
1. Definitions. For purpose of these Findings of Fact:
Code shall mean the Code of the City of Jefferson as adopted and revised.
Defendant shall mean Marcellous Kronk or their representative.
Hearing date shall mean March 16, 2021.
Inspector shall mean City of Jefferson Housing Property Inspector T.J. Peterson.
Owner shall mean Marcellous Kronk.
Subject property shall mean the structure located at 307 Jackson Street, Jefferson City,
Missouri.
2. The Inspector consulted the records of the Recorder of Deeds and the Assessor, both of
Cole County, Missouri, and determined that the subject property is owned by the
Defendant. The property is owned by the Defendant as of Record Information Report
received January 19, 2021.
3. The Inspector investigated the subject property for code violations and as part of his
investigation took pictures of the subject property. Initial photos taken December 2, 2020
with updated photos taken March 15, 2021.
4. The Inspector found violations of the Dangerous Building Code, which is codified in
Section 8-82 of the Code of the City of Jefferson. The violations are declared nuisances
by Section 8-83 of the Code of the City of Jefferson. The violations are as follows:
a. Roof is damaged and exposing interior of the building to the elements;
b. Soffit and fascia are in a deteriorated state and allowing elements to cause damage
to the interior of the structure;
Page 1 of 4
c. The deteriorated state of the soffit and fascia may become fall hazards, if left in
current state; and
d. These conditions violate 8-82 Dangerous Buildings Code Sections E, I, and K.
e. Corrective Actions required are:
i. obtaining all required permits,
ii. repair or replace and sanitize all deteriorated/failing components of the
structure, or
iii. demolish the structure.
iv. Until any or all are complete, maintain security of the property against
unauthorized access.
5. Based on his training and experience, and fulfilling his assigned duties, the Inspector
concluded that the subject property was not in compliance with the Code as aforementioned
as there were nuisances pursuant to Chapter 8 of the Code. The Inspector determined the
aforementioned nuisances required abatement.
6. The Inspector notified the Owner by certified mail that the subject property was in
violation of the Code, citing the specific sections of the Code and describing the specific
violations. Further, the Inspector advised the Owner of the actions required to abate the
nuisances. Finally, the Inspector advised the Owner of the time given to the Owner to abate
the nuisances. This notice was mailed on December 3, 2020.
7. In order to provide notice to any other unknown parties claiming an interest in the property,
the Inspector posted the notice provided to the Owner on the subject property.
8. The Owner did not abate all the nuisances within the time prescribed by the Inspector.
9. The Department of Planning and Protective Services of the City of Jefferson notified the
Owner of a nuisance hearing to be held on the hearing date, to determine whether or not
the building or structure involved is a public nuisance, whether or not the procedures
required by the Chapter 8 of the Code have been substantially followed, and whether or
not the abatement orders were reasonable by mail on January 13, 2021. A copy of this
Notice was posted on the property to notify any other unknown parties who claim an
interest in the subject property.
10. At said hearing, held on the hearing date, the Inspector testified as to his findings,
abatement orders, and the procedures followed, as recited in the preceding paragraphs of
this order. The Inspector's testimony is found to be credible.
11. At said hearing, although duly notified of the date, time, and location of the hearing, the
Owner appeared, and evidence was presented by the City. Owner then presented evidence.
City then presented evidence to rebut evidence presented by the Owner.
12. At the hearing, the City presented and the Hearing Examiner accepted into evidence, the
following:
Exhibit A: Record Information Report from Title Search for 307 Jackson
Street
Exhibit B: Declaration and Notice of Public Nuisance and Order to Abate
Exhibit C: Certified Mail Tracking on USPS Website for Notice to Owner
Exhibit D: Notice of Hearing
Exhibit E: Certified Mail Tracking on USPS Website for Notice of Hearing
Exhibit F: Photos of property taken on December 2, 2020
Exhibit G: Photos of property taken on March 15, 2021
Page 2 of 4
13. The costs to repair or maintain the building or structure so that it would no longer constitute
a public nuisance would equal or exceed fifty percent (50%) of the value of the building or
structure, therefore demolition of the structure is recommended. A security fence is
required to maintain security of the property and protect the community against potential
dangers presented by the nuisance currently present on the subject property until such a
time as the nuisance has been abated.
14. There remain nuisances at the subject properly that require abatement.
15. The Hearing Examiner takes judicial notice of the Code of the City of Jefferson and
incorporates the same by reference.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
A dangerous building is defined by Section 8-82 of the Code as "All buildings or structures
that are detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the residents of the City of Jefferson" and
which is in violation of any of the provisions of Sections 8-82(A) through 8-82(K). Dangers
buildings are declared public nuisances pursuant to Section 8-83 of the Code. The Dangerous
Building Code requires the Hearing Examiner to determine the following: (a) whether the structure
is a public nuisance under the terms of the Dangerous Building Code; (b) whether the procedures
required by Chapter 8 have been substantially followed; and (c) whether the abatement orders were
reasonable and within the standards of Chapter 8.
1. The structure is a public nuisance.
A structure can be a public nuisance under the Code if the structure violates the Dangerous
Building Code.
The evidence presented at the hearing demonstrates that the conditions of the subject
property violated the Dangerous Building Code and are therefore public nuisances. The specific
sections of the Dangerous Building Code are those identified in Section 4.
2. The procedures of Chapter 8 were substantially followed.
If the Inspector determines a public nuisance exists, the Code requires him to provide a
notice of public nuisance that meets three requirements. First, the notice must be served to the
owner, occupant, and all other persons having a potential interest in the property as shown by the
records of the Recorder of Deeds for the appropriate county of the property. Second, the notice
must set forth a description of the conditions that constitute a public nuisance. Third, the notice
must provide for the abatement of the nuisance and give a reasonable time to commence and
complete the work.
The subject properly is located in Cole County, Missouri. The Inspector consulted the
records of the Recorder of Deeds and Assessor in Cole County, Missouri, where the property is
situated. The records of the Recorder of Deeds and Assessor showed that the Defendant is the
owner of the subject property.
The letter to the Owner contained information advising it of the nuisances which were
found at the subject property and the actions necessary to abate the nuisances. The Inspector
Page 3 of 4
required that the abatement actions be commenced immediately and proceed without delay until
completed.
As the nuisances could have been abated within the time provided by the Inspector, the
abatement orders were reasonable.
In summary, the Inspector served written notice: 1) to the owners, occupants, and all other
persons having an interest in the property; 2) containing sufficient description of the conditions
found that caused a public nuisance; 3) giving a reasonable time to commence the abatement; and
4) requiring that the work proceed without delay. As a matter of law, I conclude that the Inspector
substantially followed the procedures of the Code.
3. The abatement order of the housing inspector was reasonable and within the
standards of Chapter 8.
The abatement orders identified in Section 4 are found to be reasonable and within the
standards of Chapter 8.
4. Conclusion
Public nuisances do exist at the subject property. The procedures required by the Code
have been substantially followed. The abatement orders issued by the inspector were reasonable
and within the standards of the Code.
DECISION
WHEREFORE, upon the basis of competent and substantial evidence presented at the
hearing held on the hearing date, including the testimony of all the witnesses and exhibits accepted
into evidence, it is the decision of the Hearing Examiner that the violations stated in Section 4 are
public nuisances and that the proper abatement for these nuisances is to perform suggested
corrective action, which is to demolish the structure.
If the abatements stated in Section 4 are not performed within thirty (30) days of this order
the City shall arrange for abatement in accordance with the Code. Costs for said abatement shall
be assessed against the subject property in accordance with the provisions of the Code, which may
include a lien on the subject property or a lawsuit against the Owner. If the City is required to
abate the nuisances then the City shall do so as described in Section 4.
