Standing in front of a boarded and battered duplex at 2522 N. 1st St., Mayor John O. Norquist and Department of Neighborhood Services Commissioner Marty Collins decried the condition of the two-story property and the failures of its owner, Warren S. Hornik of Pewaukee.
...
Hornik also owes back taxes amounting to $11,514, Collins said.
...
"This scarlet letter approach is the next-to-last resort to get the owner to fix the property or sell it to someone who will fix it up," Collins said.
...
Collins remained skeptical.
"I'm glad to hear (he's sold the property) if it's true," he said. "But I've been in this business for 20 years, and I've been lied to so many times I'm a professional skeptic.
"If you've been ordered to do something, and you've not done it, and you've been prosecuted and fined, your credibility is very limited in my eyes," he said, referring to the city's history with Hornik.
"Good faith is given where good faith is shown."
