Downtown Steubenville Building Owner Faces Summons
STEUBENVILLE — The owner of a commercial property at Fourth and Adams streets cited for a major building code violation told Steubenville Municipal Court Judge John Mascio he’s hoping to have what he needs for an engineering review within the month.
Mark Nelson, sole member of Mark Nelson Holdings LLC, was in Housing Court Wednesday to answer the summons, only to find out that, sole member or not, because the building is an LLC he will have to be represented by an attorney. The hearing was reset to Aug. 6 to allow him to retain legal representation.
The official complaint, filed on the city’s behalf by Assistant Prosecutor Steve Lamatrice in May, alleges inspectors found “exterior wall sections bricks are missing mortar — and wall bowing out, likely to partially or completely collapse or become detached.”
It also cited the building’s owner for broken or missing windows, and its overall condition.
