City officials found 19 disused appliances and several inoperable vehicles when they were accompanied by police in inspecting Kevin Geren’s property in the 700 block of S. Cedar St.

“We went out to look and see what the size of the abatement will be and how many city crews will be devoted to the cleanup,” administrator Roger Holter said.

Geren had been ordered by municipal court to clean up the yard, which violates Marion’s nuisance codes.
