Wakeman resident Robert Tite is headed to the Huron County Common Pleas Court next month.

This time, he has to answer for property he owns that is in disrepair and is considered a “hazard” to the community.

Wakeman Village Administrator Drew Butler initially spoke to Tite, who lives on Chenango Road, about the condition of the house at 21 Pleasant St., in April 2010, according to Huron County Common Pleas Court records.

The house was struck by lightning, which damaged and burned the northeast corner of the structure. Additionally, it’s missing sections of soffit and paint.

Court records indicate there are holes in the house, many broken windows, damaged siding and a “porch is falling off the house.”

Butler also provided Tite with a copy of the village ordinance regarding the maintenance of buildings and asked that Tite repair the house within six months.

When Tite ignored the warning, the village’s solicitor, Randy Strickler, filed a motion with the court asking for help enforcing the issue. Late last year, the court ruled in the village’s favor; it ordered Tite to fix the house or tear it down, according to the case file.

“In the event it is not economically feasible to repair the aforementioned violations of the ordinance, the defendant is required to raze or demolish the structure at issue in order to abate the nuisance within 60 days from the date of this judgment,” wrote Judge Jim Conway in a judgment entry on Oct. 11, 2011.

While Tite apparently put the house up for sale, according to a sign displayed on the porch, he failed to satisfy the village’s requirements. A contempt of court hearing is scheduled for Feb. 22, according to a court spokeswoman.

A telephone number for Tite’s Chenango Road residence is out of service and no one returned phone calls to a telephone listing on the Pleasant Street house’s for sale sign.

Tite made national headlines a few years ago when he allegedly passed out drunk on a bulldozer in his neighbor’s yard after turfing a pathway to a tree where the dozer sat stationary digging up the yard. Tite and his now deceased adult son have repeatedly been in the local news over the last few years for incidents involving a number of criminal allegations, some of which resulted in convictions.
