As previously reported by News Center 7, the rubble has been sitting at the 3500 block of Cornell Drive since a fire destroyed Cornell Meat King Supermarket last October.
The building was destroyed after crews decided it could not be saved, and they put up a fence to keep people out.
A judge told the owner, Safi Husman Ali, that the property had to be cleaned up.
But he missed a court appearance for a public nuisance related to the rubble.
The judge issued a bench warrant for Ali.
A regular customer told News Center 7 that the owner and his employees always treated him like family.
'I went every day. Every day, because I liked it, I knew everybody down there,' said Fred White.
Neighbors said that the wind blows some of the loose debris around the neighborhood.
We will update this story.
