e Brick is back 

By Kristy Zurbrick 

Madison Editor 

Shuttered for four years, the historic Red Brick Tavern in 

Lafayette officially reopened on Valentine’s Day to a packed house. 

The new owners said they are already feeling the love. 

“We had no idea the following this building had,” said Kyle 

Massey, who owns and operates the business with his brother, 

Travis. 

“Even though we’re from a bigger city (Lewis Center), we were 

raised old-school, so we like the atmosphere here and how everyone 

is always helping each other,” Travis said. 

Kyle previously worked as assistant food and beverage director 

at The Ohio State University. He oversees front-of-house operations 

at the Red Brick. Travis has always had a passion for cooking and, 

for the new business venture, honed his skills in several commercial 

kitchens over the past year. He is the restaurant’s head chef. 

The brothers came to own the iconic restaurant and bar, built in 

1837, thanks to a leisurely drive through the countryside over a 

year ago. 

“I collect antique cars. I was in my Model T on Route 40 when I 

drove by the Red Brick. I had never been to London before,” Kyle 

said. 

He saw the property was for sale, inquired, and the rest is history—a 

lot of history—which the Masseys are preserving through 

restoration and remodeling efforts, as well as nods to past menu favorites. 

(Yes, they will be serving the famous Red Brick cinnamon 

rolls. Yes, beloved bartender Kelley Meredith, a fixture at the Red 

Brick for almost 40 years, is back behind the bar.) 

Kyle and Travis have poured a lot of effort into renovations. One 

of the first changes past patrons will notice is the bar is now located 

in what was known as the Presidents Room. 

The former bar area will become a private 

meeting space with room for up to 40 people. 

The switch affords a more efficient use 

of space, the brothers said, backing the bar

up to the kitchen and giving bar patrons 

more room. 

They’ve also reworked the plumbing and 

electricals, hooked up to county water service, 

installed new bathrooms, redecorated 

the dining room, replastered all the walls, 

restored a lot of the woodwork, and changed 

out light fixtures. New historically accurate 

windows are on order. 

“Anything you can think of, we’ve been 

crawling around in it,” Travis said, referring 

to the wide range of renovations they have 

tackled so far. 

Still to come, Kyle said, is installation of 

a patio for outdoor seating, tuck-pointing 

the exterior brick, and returning the fireplaces 

to working order. And that’s not all. 

The Masseys hope to convert the second 

floor into rooms for short-term vacation 

rentals, bringing the building back to its 

roots as a stagecoach stop halfway between 

Springfield and Columbus. The last time 

the Red Brick rented out a room was 1937. 

“As the building evolves, we want to 

evolve with it,” Kyle said.

Strings are the thing in build-n-play ukulele class 

By Dedra Cordle 

Staff Writer 

If someone had told Tim Tanner at the 

start of his career in vocal music education 

that one day he would lead a course on how 

to build and play a musical instrument, he 

likely would have laughed in their face. 

“I have no background in playing string 

instruments. All of my previous attempts to 

learn how to play string instruments have 

failed, and I am certainly not the one you 

call when you need to fix things around the 

house,” he admitted with a grin. 

But much to his surprise, Tanner, vocal 

music instructor at London City Schools, is 

teaching just such a course as he nears the 

three-decade mark in his career. 

“This has been an unexpected turn of 

events, but I have to say that I could not be 

more excited to be involved in this new 

course offering, nor could I be any prouder 

of the results that have come out of this program,” 

he said. 

The idea for “Ukulele: Build-N-Play” 

began to form in the winter of 2020 when 

Tanner was experiencing a prolonged period 

of boredom during pandemic-related 

school closures and the discouragement of 

public gatherings as the holidays approached. 

“I had been doing a lot of puzzles to keep 

my mind occupied, and I was looking for a 

bigger challenge,” he explained. 

That bigger challenge came in the form 

of a build-it-yourself ukulele kit his wife,

Valerie, bought for him as a Christmas surprise. 

Valerie knew her husband had always 

wanted to learn how to play a string instrument, 

and she thought he might finally find 

success with the ukulele as it is more “userfriendly” 

than its bigger relative, the guitar. 

“It’s much lighter than a guitar, it’s much 

shorter than a guitar, and it only has fourstrings 

which is more forgiving on your fingers 

and hands,” Tanner said. “It really is 

the perfect instrument for all ages and abilities, 

and I’m not sure why I never thought 

to give it a try earlier.” 

As he began to assemble his StewMac 

ukulele kit, a new idea popped into his head: 

Messenger photos by Dedra Cordle 

London High School senior Julie Betz sands portions of her 

ukulele. After all the frets and strings are on the body, she will 

paint the instrument to personalize it. 

Teaching students at the high school level, 

especially those who have had no interest in 

taking choir or band, how to build and play 

the ukulele. 

“I began documenting every step and 

every mistake that I made during the 

process,” Tanner said. “I knew that if I was 

really going to do this, I had to know where 

things went right and I had to know where 

things went wrong in order to troubleshoot 

for the students who would take this course.” 

Within months, Tanner had built his 

first ukulele and learned how to play chords 

from the songs of some of his favorite 80’s 

rock artists. 

“I don’t think I can accurately describe 

the sense of pride I felt at building my own 

ukulele and learning how to play it, not proficiently 

to be certain, but just learning how 

to play it,” he said. “I knew that these kids 

would feel the same way if given the chance.” 

That chance came during the 2021-22 

school year when Principal Michael Browning 

advocated for “Ukulele: Build-N-Play” to 

become a course offering at the high school. 

Tanner says 12 students signed up for the 

initial course and word quickly spread. 

Logan Weiner, a junior, said positive 

word-of -mouth is why he decided to take 

the course this semester. 

“I have no skills at guitar, no wood building 

skills under my belt, and I’m not really the 

most artistic person, but some of my friends 

who took the course said how fun it was to 

take and that is why I am here,” he said. 

Tim Tanner, vocal music instructor at London City Schools, displays 

a ukulele he and several high school students built during 

his class, “Ukulele: Build-N-Play.” This particular ukulele and case 

will be raffled off during the school district’s S.T.E.A.M Festival on 

April 1. 

He added that the course has lived up to 

the hype. 

“We’re still in the build phase, but it has 

been really cool to learn how to make a 

ukulele with my own hands,” he said. “I 

can’t wait until we learn how to play it.” 

With nearly 20 weeks in a semester, Tanner 

has broken the ukulele class into two 

phases. The first phase is a 10-week build 

during which students assemble the body of 

the ukulele, smooth and sand, add the frets, 

line up the strings, and personalize the instrument 

with their own artwork. During 

the second 10 weeks, Tanner encourages 

students to listen to their favorite songs, 

study the chord progressions, and repeat the 

tablature on their ukuleles the best they can. 

“My expectation for them is not to want to 

begin a career as a ukulele player, although 

you never know what might spark a new interest,” 

he said. “I just want them to be proud 

of the fact that they have built something 

with their own hands, that they have done 

something different and learned how to play 

chords from some of their favorite songs. The 

biggest pleasure I have had so far during this 

course is seeing them be happy, seeing them 

carry their ukuleles around the school and 

showing them off to their friends. 

“I really was not sure this class would be 

a success when it started, especially since I 

was new to building ukuleles and playing 

ukuleles, as well, but I am so thankful I am 

able to be a part of this and to see the joy 

that it brings to those who take this class.”

When it comes to the 

food, Travis is going with 

a small menu to start and 

will add more items as 

time goes on. (A prime rib 

special is planned, as is a 

children’s menu.) 

Currently, entree options 

include an 8-ounce 

filet mignon with Bearnaise 

sauce ($39), salmon 

with bourbon glaze ($24), 

and chicken marsala 

($24). Each entree comes 

with a choice of two sides. 

The alfredo pasta dish 

($21) comes with garlic 

bread and a choice of 

salad or soup and the option 

to add chicken or 

salmon for $6 more. 

Sandwiches include a Nashville hot 

chicken, reuben, traditional cheeseburger, 

and tavern burger. Chicken fingers are another 

option under “handhelds.” All come 

with housemade fries. Prices range from 

$14 to $19. 

Appetizers are $9 to $12 and include 

fried onion rings, a giant bavarian pretzel, 

sliders, jalapeno poppers, mozzarrella 

sticks, and potato skins. Bone-in wings with 

several sauce choices come in six-, 10-, 15-,

County and West Jefferson races 

One countywide seat—Madison County municipal 

court judge—is up for election this year. No one filed a 

petition for candidacy for the primary election. Eric M. 

Schooley currently holds the position. The seat comes 

with a six-year term. 

Michael Conway and Ray Martin filed petitions to 

run for West Jefferson mayor (four-year term). The village’s 

charter requires three or more candidates to file 

in order for the mayor’s race to appear on the primary 

ballot. So, Conway and Martin will appear on the Nov. 

7 general election ballot instead. 

Deadline for independent candidates 

Independent candidates have until 4 p.m. May 1 to 

file petitions with the BOE to appear on the Nov. 8 general 

election ballot. Call the BOE at (740) 852-9424 for 

more information about which races qualify.

• Jefferson Township—The fire department is seeking 

an additional tax levy of 3.5 mills for a continuing period 

of time for operational expenses. 

• City of London—The city is seeking a 0.25 percent income 

tax increase to provide additional funding for the 

fire and EMS department. 

• Madison-Plains Local Schools—The school district is 

seeking a $63 million bond levy to construct a new 

school to serve students in pre-kindergarten through 

12th grade. The term of the bond is 37 years with first 

collection scheduled for 2024. 

• Liquor Option for the Plain City West precinct–Mi 

Sombrero Express Inc., 900 Village Blvd., Plain City, is 

seeking voter approval for Sunday sales of wine, mixed 

beverages, and spiritous liquors. 

chocolate covered banana for $1, apple pie for $6, or cheesecake for 

$6. Soups, salads, and a la carte side dishes round out the menu. 

Travis promises hearty portions. 

“We want to make sure you leave full and you leave satisfied,” 

he said. 

As for the brothers’ overarching goal when it comes to the Red 

Brick experience, Kyle said, “We hope to be a house of hospitality 

for the community. We also want to be a destination location.” 

For now, the Red Brick is primarily open for dinner. Kitchen 

hours are 4-9 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday; 4-10 p.m. Friday; and 12-10 

p.m. Saturday.

Recently, Madison County Special Olympics celebrated its 2022 award winners. They include: (from left) Mike 

Ellis, Athlete of the year; Carrie Kuhn, Coach of the Year; Wesley Pierce, Volunteer of the Year; Keith Smith of 

Madison Community Housing, Organization of the Year; Josh and Tyler Caines accepting the Fan of the Year 

award on behalf of their family; and Chad Burks, Savannah’s Heart of a Champion award winner. 

Mike Ellis is a king when it comes to Special 

Olympics golf. Ellis was selected to not only represent 

Madison County but the entire state of Ohio at the 2022 

USA Games held in Orlando, Fla. All he did was earn a 

first-place finish. 

“He has shown great maturity, dedication, and has 

excelled at the game of golf,” said Lincoln Comer, director 

of Special Olympics and community recreation for 

the MCBDD. “After a flurry of rounds versus stiff competition, 

Mike forged ahead and brought home the gold 

for Team Ohio on the last day of the tournament.” 

By using methods learned through connections she 

made during the COVID-19 hiatus, Carrie Kuhn reinvigorated 

the Tigers’ powerlifting program and earned 

Coach of the Year honors. She led the Tigers to medals 

in the State Summer Games last year when they returned 

to The Ohio State University in full force. 

“Carrie and her son immersed themselves in the 

sport during the pandemic to help deal with the mental 

and physical aspects it affected,” Comer said. “Once restrictions 

were lifted, she got back to work and her mission 

to revitalize Madison County’s powerlifting program.” 

Kind, courteous, and helpful are just three words 

used to describe Wesley Pierce, Volunteer of the Year. 

“When it comes to volunteer work, Wesley Pierce is 

a Madison County staple,” Comer said. “There is no job 

too big or too small, and each task he performs is treated 

with the utmost importance.” 

Again this year, Madison County Special Olympics 

honored an organization that has offered support to enhance 

the program. This year’s recipient of the Organization 

of the Year award is Madison Community 

Housing (MCH). 

MCH’s contributions made it possible for athletes 

and coaches to stay in Bowling Green, Ohio, during the 

2022 state basketball tournament. 

“The Madison Community Housing Board has long 

been a major contributor to our county’s Special 

Olympics program,” Comer said. “Through their generosity, 

our athletes were afforded the opportunity to

enjoy themselves and compete for a state title.” 

Super dedication to virtually all Madison County Special 

Olympics activities is one of the main reasons Josh, Natasha, and 

the rest of Caines family were the top choice for Fan of the Year 

honors. 

“They show up to softball games, basketball games, football 

games, track meets, or wherever their beloved Tigers may be,” 

Comer said. “It is the constant support and inspiration from fans 

like the Caines family that help our teams reach their goals.” 

Special Olympics athlete Chad “Coach” Burks was honored with 

the Savannah’s Heart of a Champion Award for his dedication to 

Madison County Special Olympics. 

Named in memory of former Special Olympics athlete Savannah 

Wilson, the award honors a person who displays courage, determination, 

and class on and off the court. 

Competing in basketball, track, and softball, Burks is known for 

LASZEWSKI 

Gary Lee Laszewski, 75, of London, Ohio, passed away peacefully 

to meet his Savior on Feb. 5, 2023. He was born in Binghamton, 

N.Y., on Aug. 17, 1947, son of the late Leo and Betty (Mason) 

Laszewski. He married his loving wife, Pamela (Harris) Laszewski, 

on May 26, 1978. 

He leaves: two brothers, David Laszewski and wife Janet of Port 

Crane, New York, and Dennis Laszewski of Apalachin, New York; 

two daughters, Shelli (Laszewski) Hankins and husband Roger of 

Pflugerville, Texas, and Amy (Laszewski) Ward and husband Mike 

of Gilmer, Texas; two sons, Steven Laszewski and wife Heather of 

London, Ohio, and Kevin Laszewski of Columbus, Ohio. 

He was preceded in death by: his oldest son, Michael Laszewski, 

of London, Ohio; six grandchildren, Allison Dickey and husband 

Kevin, Jonathan Hankins and wife Kaitlyn of Pflugerville, Texas, 

Kameron Ward and sister Callie Ward of Gilmer, Texas, Noah and 

Addison Laszewski of London, Ohio; five great-grandchildren, Eli, 

Jaiden, and Ryan Dickey, and Addyson and John Cason Hankins. 

Gary graduated in 1966 from Maine-Endwell Sr. High School, in 

Endwell, New York. He was involved in sports as a youth, loved 

baseball, and lettered in three sports. He had a tryout with the 

Syracuse Chiefs, Triple A (AAA) Farm Club of the New York Yankees. 

He was a life-long Yankee fan. He served in the National 

Guard in New York and Texas. He retired, a corrections officer from 

the Travis County Sheriff's Department, Austin, Texas. 

Gary never met a stranger. He had a strong faith in Jesus and 

shared his faith with anyone who would listen. 

Throughout his life, he volunteered with children’s ministries. 

His favorite was going with volunteers from Church of Glad Tidings 

in Austin, Texas, and spending Saturday mornings ministering to 

children who lived in the disadvantaged area in east Austin. 

After retiring and moving to Ohio, he slowed down a little. He 

enjoyed singing in his church choir, attending men’s Bible studies, 

and going out for lunch with Pastor Jerry and his pals. He also volunteered 

with Loving Care Hospice in London, visiting and reading 

to patients. Gary will be greatly missed. 

A memorial service was held for Gary on Feb. 11 at Faith Assembly 

Worship Center, London. Donations may be made to Faith 

Assembly Church, London, OH 43140, and The Jack Strong Founobituaries 

his dedication and preparation. 

“No matter the sport, Chad shows up to 

every practice on time and ready to go,” 

Comer said. “He defines the word commitment 

and is the standard to which all athletes 

should dedicate themselves.”

Edward Coughenour Jr., 66, of Mount Sterling, Ohio, passed 

away unexpectedly in Naples, Fla., on Feb. 6, 2023. He was born on 

Feb. 8, 1956, in Columbus, Ohio, to the late Edward Coughenour 

Sr. and Madge Coughenour.

Coughenour; sisters, Joyce (Ronald) Adams and Peggy (Mark) Platt; 

five grandchildren, Emily, Allison, Aaron, and Aidan Barker, and 

Tronny Monahan; and numerous nieces and nephews. 

Ed graduated from Madison-Plains High School in 1974. He 

farmed his whole life near Mount Sterling, Ohio. 

Ed loved corn hole, horseshoes, fishing, hunting, traveling, riding 

his motorcycle, and, of course, sightseeing crops. He had just relocated 

to Bonita Springs, Fla., for retirement and had enjoyed the 

last four months there. 

Ed went to his Lord and Savior. He will be greatly missed by 

family and friends. 

The family welcomed friends for visitation on Feb. 16 at Porter- 

Thomas F. Adams, Jr., 61, of London passed away on the 

evening of February 9, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. 

Thomas was born September 27, 1961, in London, Ohio and was a graduate 

of Madison Plains High School. He had worked most of his life in the 

construction and home renovation industry. Thomas loved his family and 

often enjoyed trips to Old Mans Cave with them during their youth. During 

time together, he was often the family photographer, capturing many of 

their special moments on film. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and was an 

avid fan of the Cleveland Browns. Thomas also enjoyed woodworking and 

was known to display his art fashioning furniture and other crafts. 

Thomas was preceded in death by his father, Wallace E. Henry. 

Remaining to cherish his memory are his mother, Pansy Sue (Burris) Henry; 

children, Christianne (Jerry) Varney, Derrick (Sandra) Charles, Thomas F. 

Adams III (Shannon Wright), Earl (Nicole) Adams, and Kim Adams; grandchildren, 

Michaela, Christa, Thomas IV, Earl Jr., Cori, Nathan, and Everett; 

great grandchildren, Kinleigh, Bentley, Oakley, Natalie, Wesley, Payton, 

Autumn, and Waylon; and brothers, Todd Adams and Joseph (Shelly) 

Adams. He also leaves behind many extended family members and his 

many friends. 

Honoring his wishes, cremation will take place. The family is planning a 

private celebration of life for a later time.

Check out Scooby and Lucy 

The following are among the 

pets up for adoption at the Humane 

Society of Madison County. 

Scooby 

Scooby has arrived at the shelter. 

No, he isn’t a Great Dane like 

the cartoon character, but this 

“snausage” sure is cute. He is approximately 

1.5 years old and 

weighs in at 65 pounds. (He needs 

to cut back on the treats, to be totally 

honest.) Shelter staff believe 

he is a black mouth cur/hound 

mix. 

He is a little anxious at the 

shelter but has come to fit in well, 

doing very well with his dogfriendly 

testing. He would prefer 

to avoid dogs who are rude. He 

could do well with cats, too, with 

slow introductions. 

Scooby keeps his kennel clean, 

even over night. With a knowledgeable 

owner who has some patience 

and who will let Scooby 

decompress the first week or so in 

their home, this boy will be a fantastic, 

loyal family dog. 

Adoption fees for dogs vary: 

shelter dogs are $180, prison dogs 

are $250, puppies are $300, and 

popular pure-breeds are $400. The 

price includes: a Home Again microchip, 

set of shots, deworming, 

heartworm testing (if old enough), 

Scooby 

estimated birthdate of Dec. 20, 

2015, and is such a lovebug. She 

may look a little crabby at times, 

but it’s just her natural look. And 

did you see those beautiful baby 

blues? She purrs up a storm and 

loves nothing more than to be 

snuggled up on a warm lap or cozy 

couch. 

She is a quiet girl and never 

makes a fuss. She would do really 

well in a quieter home but could 

likely acclimate to a busier home. 

With proper introductions to other 

kitties, dogs, and children, she 

would do just fine. 

The adoption fee is $100 for kittens 

up to 6 months old and $80 

for cats 7 months and older. It includes: 

a FeLV/FIV test (if old 

enough), spay or neuter, set of 

shots, deworming, and a one-year 

rabies shot (if old enough). Fees 

can be paid by cash or credit card. 

Cat/Kitten Adoption Special 

The Humane Society is holding 

a “Sassy, Single, and Ready to 

Mingle” adoption event. Between 

Feb. 25 and March 5, the Society 

is taking $30 off the cost to adopt 

a cat or kitten. Visit www.hsmcohio.org 

to view the cats and kittens 

available for adoption and fill 

out an application.

Lucy 

adopted must leave with a county license at an additional 

cost of $17; this fee is cash only. Adoption fees can 

be paid by cash or credit card. 

Lucy 

Meet the beautiful Lucy. This gorgeous lady has an 

Rd., West Jefferson. If you are interested in adopting a 

pet, fill out an application online at www.hsmcohio.org 

or call the shelter at (614) 879-8368. The shelter is open 

by appointment. The Humane Society appreciates donations 

of supplies; call for a list of items. 

Working on their Brownie badges 

ONLY $130.00 

Brownie Troop 5248 visited West Jefferson 

Hardware on Jan. 28 to meet owner Carol 

Beachy who helped the troop work on some 

Brownie badge requirements. 

Beachy talked about first working at the 

hardware store, then purchasing the store. 

She explained the work that goes into keeping 

a business running smoothly and the importance 

of good customer service. The girls 

also learned about how Beachy gives back to 

the community with donations, hosting 

events for groups and organizations, and 

alowing organizations to use her store for 

fundraisers. Examples include Humane Society 

bake sales, Easter bunny cakes sales for 

the Down Syndrome Association of Central 

Ohio, and candy bar sales for the American 

Cancer Society. 

Beachy explained that her store is more 

than a hardware store. She also carries greeting 

cards, cleaning supplies, gardening supplies, 

poison ivy soap, and paint. She holds 

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day craft events 

where children can make gifts for their parents. 

Brownie Troop 5248 visited West Jefferson Hardware: (front row, 

from left) Olivia Chapman, Ella Herring, Madison Anderson, and 

Elizabeth Burgett; (second row) Sophia Chapman, Emi Herring, 

Jacquie Baker, and Layla Spezzalli; (back row) troop leader 

Karla Fry, Holly Fry, Ruby Fry, and store owner Carol Beachy.

Public Notice 

The City of London Building Department this day made and entered upon its records the following order: 

The premises affected by this order is known or described at 5 Stewart Street, London, OH 43140. 

A structure on this premises has been declared unsafe and dangerous and shall be abated by construction 

or demolition. Further Sections 109.4 and 113.2 of the 2019 Residential Code of Ohio requires: “Residential 

buildings, structures and the building equipment shall be maintained in a safe and sanitary condition...” You 

can bring the structure in compliance in one of the two following ways: 

Compliance by Construction: 

1. Submit construction documents prior to commencing construction. 

(2019 Residential Code of Ohio) 105.1 Approval Required. 

Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move or change the occupancy of 

a residential building or structure, or portion thereof, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or 

replace any electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing system, other residential building service equipment, or piping 

system, the installation of which is regulated by this code, or to cause any such work to be done, shall first make 

application to the building official and obtain the required approval. 

Compliance by Demolition: 

1. The removal of all structure and non-structural members, including the foundation from the site. 

2. The filling in of all excavations relating to the removal of said structure. 

3. The removal of all storage or debris in conjunction with the demolition process. 

4. The safe and adequate elimination of all utility connections. 

5. Secure necessary demolition permits and approvals. 

This order must be complied with within thirty (30) days from the date of order. Failure to comply with this 

Order will result in demolition of the property. Additionally, any person who fails to obey an order of the 

Building Official is guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be fined not more than $300.00 for each offense as 

provided in Ohio Revised Code Sections 307.37 and 307.99 (c). Each day during which a violation of these 

regulations occurs shall be a separate offense. 

In accordance with Chapter 119 of the ORC, you have 30 days from the mailing date of appeal the adjudication 

order. To request an appeal hearing, submit and complete an Residential Building Appeal application along 

with a check or money order for $200.00 made payable to: 

City of London 

Building and Zoning Department 

20 South Walnut Street, Suite 105 


The written request shall include the items from the Correction Letter being appealed, the reasons for the 

appeal and relief sought. A copy of this notice shall be attached to your request. 

At an appeal hearing you have the right to be represented by counsel. You may present arguments orally or 

in writing. You may also present evidence and examine witnesses appearing for or against you. 

Further, as provided in O.R.C. Section 307.37 in the event any building is being maintained in violation of 

these regulations, the City Council, the Prosecuting Attorney for the City of London, or the Building Official 

or any adjacent neighboring owner who would be especially damaged by such violations may institute a 

suite for injunction, abatement or other appropriate action to prevent such a violation. 

Issued under the authority of Chapter 307.37 Ohio Revised Code and 2019 Residental Code of Ohio.
