STL city ordinance law leaves storm victims in limbo
SUMMARY: A St. Louis city ordinance allows the city to withhold up to 25% of insurance claim payouts from property owners for damaged buildings, stemming from a 1996 ordinance linked to state laws from 1984 and earlier. Originally intended to help cities address abandoned buildings and cover demolition costs, this withholding now impacts tornado victims like Cheryl Walker, who feel the policy is unfair. Mayor Spencer acknowledged the complexity and expressed intent not to retain funds unjustly, while state officials advise holding funds only for rental or commercial properties, aiming to ensure residents can rebuild. Critics urge waiving the withholding for impacted homeowners.
The May 16 tornado damaged but didn’t destroy Cheryl Walker’s property in The Ville neighborhood.
She says she spoke with her insurance company, filed a claim and planned on using the payout for repairs.
