City council expected to act on empty building

The vacant building at Sixth Avenue and Locust Street in Des Moines is expected to be declared a public nuisance at Monday's city council meeting. This would allow the city's legal department to seek a court order to declare the building abandoned, then the city would get the title and could sell it. A barbershop was the last business there, and that left in August. City officials have concerns over the utilities now, and would benefit in several ways from the sale of the building.
