Peru enforcement officer goes after construction company owner for alleged unkempt property

The city of Peru and a business owner are going at it over what city officials think is a messy property.

Peru’s code enforcement officer on Wednesday wrote up tickets for high grass/weeds and debris accumulation to 67-year-old Richard Fay of Peru. A month before Fay paid a $100 ticket for high grass/weeds at his Fay Construction property on 12th Street.

Because of his latest tickets, Fay will have to appear before an administrative hearing officer.
