INVITATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT/QUESTIONS
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to be heard.
Robert Kamman wished to thank the Board for their attention to the situation at 22 Allegany Avenue. Dr. Kamman stated that on Friday, the owner’s contractor took out scrap metal but the structure was not re-boarded until 10:00 p.m. On Monday, the contractor was there again and removed five bags of garbage and some wire. Dr. Kamman observed that for forty-five minutes the contractor was stripping the wire for copper.
He is concerned about the inside clean-up of the property and stated that it doesn’t seem like they are rehabilitating it. Dr. Kamman also questioned what the status was on the asbestos problem.
Mayor Mang stated that the owner was given sixty days to rehabilitate the property and we have to honor that time.
Building Inspector Michael Berns stated that he has an estimate from the architect and that the mold survey was done. Mr. Berns was inside the home, and the interior
is empty.
Dr. Kamman added that the back window is not boarded. He is concerned that kids will access the structure.
Mr. Berns noted that the asbestos siding cannot be removed or disturbed until the report comes back. He also noted that the owners were given sixty days to complete
the work.
Mayor Mang stated that he is hopeful that the work will get done in the required time. The Mayor asked for patience from the neighbors and stated that he understands their concerns. He added that Mr. Berns is keeping an eye on the situation.
As no one else wished to be heard, the meeting was adjourned.
The next meeting of the Board of Trustees will be October 2, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. at the Municipal Building.
