Posted

Following a day of inspections, the city is writing multiple warnings for fire, safety, property and nuisance violations found at Red Fox Motel on Thursday.

According to the city, the city has received several complaints from tenants about safety issues at the West Elm Street business. On Thursday, officials from Lebanon’s Code Administration were joined by the Lebanon Fire Department, Lebanon Police Department and Laclede County Sheriff’s Office to conduct a series of fire safety and property maintenance inspections.

During the inspections, along with the violations, it was discovered that Red Fox is not operating under the right kinds of business licenses. 

The business, which is officially listed as a motel, tobacco store and pawn shop, only has a merchant’s license. It does not have a motel or pawn broker license.
