Miami County Issues Adjudication Order for Former K-mart Building in Piqua
Information from the Miami County Commissioners

TROY — Miami County Chief Building Official Rob England has issued an adjudication order for the structure commonly known as the former K-mart building, located at 1937 Covington Avenue in Piqua, Ohio. The order follows a recent fire inside the building, which further highlighted the deteriorated and unsafe condition of the structure.

 

   The property’s out-of-state owner has been notified of the situation via email and has also received the adjudication order through registered mail. Under the order, the owner has 30 days to address and correct the identified safety issues or proceed with razing the structure.

 

   In accordance with Ohio law, the owner also has 30 days to file an appeal with the Ohio Board of Building Appeals. If the owner fails to make the required repairs or does not receive an appeal decision within that timeframe, Miami County will pursue legal action, requesting that a judge order the structure to be demolished.

 

   Miami County remains committed to ensuring public safety and addressing hazardous structures within the community.
