(WFIE) - The City of Grandview is suing a property owner after fear for public safety.In August of 2024 three buildings in Grandview were condemned after one of the buildings collapsed from the inside. A portion of the building is owned by Carolyn Barr, who we recently reported owns dilapidated buildings in Cannelton and other surrounding areas. [Claims: Buildings in several towns left in poor condition by same woman][Three buildings condemned on the verge of collapse in Spencer Co.]Grandview owns the half of the building that collapsed in 2024. They also say Barr’s side shows signs of dilapidation. The city has been looking to tear down the building, but Barr as been preventing them from doing so. Grandview city leaders have been pushing to tear down the building, but Carolyn Barr with Maverick Properties Third LLC is stopping them from doing that.She argues the building has historical value.The city has now filed a lawsuit arguing the building is a danger.“I know historical building is what she calls, you know, she likes to keep them up,” says Sam Rose, Grandview town manager. “My problem as town manager, I like to see it down just because there’s no room for growth in this town. Just like a lot of these towns or these buildings are just dilapidated and fall down. You can’t put new business in there, you can’t put anything in there to make the town grow. Keep the building, kill the town.”Barr was supposed to appear in court today, but instead requested a change of judge, delaying the hearing. People who live in the area say building collapsed right next to their home.“I was leaving the next morning and coming up the street in my vehicle and noticed that I had bricks laying up against my fence from where the back wall it fell out,” says Dawn Bell. “I just I couldn’t believe it. I can’t believe that it’s taken this long”They say if things don’t work out between the city and Barr they will sue her themselves.“I went to the city first about it because of safety reasons,” says Gary Hinton. “But if it doesn’t go through that way through the courts right now, we’ll put a lawsuit on it. I’ve done had it. I’m not going to mess around with her no more.”City officials say the hearing will now take place in Martin County. A new court date has not been set. </div></body>
