A judge has ordered the owner of an abandoned house in Waterloo that has been the scene of at least three fires since 2016 to demolish it by Halloween, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. The home at 526 Logan Avenue has been deemed unfit for human occupation and dangerous. Code Enforcement Forman Maria Downing says the home is so damaged that they cannot even board it up to keep intruders out. Former City Council member and former Black Hawk County Supervisor Scott Jordan bought the property in a sheriff’s sale in 2004. Judge Andrea Dryer assessed all costs related to the demolition to Jordan.
