Supervisors hear more about Abingdon nuisance property

ABINGDON - Jefferson County Board of Supervisors heard an update to a nuisance property in Abingdon during the Monday, Nov. 9 meeting. The property in question is 1561 Jefferson St. in Abingdon (in the northwest part of the county), previously owned by Charles Brown until his death in 2020. During the supervisors’ meeting on Monday, Oct. 26, they heard from Dakota Wadhams and Katie Weicht, neighbors of the property, who told the supervisors about a rat infestation affecting their own home, caused by the piles of trash on the Brown property.At Monday’s meeting, Wadhams said there were new developments since he last spoke to the supervisors. He put up cameras, which have recorded a person or persons dumping trash in the middle of the night, and stealing from another neighbor. “There are multiple new piles [of trash] across this property,” said Wadhams, who notified Assistant County Attorney Michael Campbell and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office about the people dumping trash.
