‘Dangerous’ decree for avenue building damaged in 2008 fire; demolition looms
|
The house at 1726 W. Colorado Ave., which still has a hole in its roof and other damage from a December 2008 fire, has been declared a dangerous building and is
apparently on its way to being torn down.
A 30-day period just ended in which the property owner did not appeal the dangerous-building decision which had been posted on the front door by the Regional Building Department. The 1903 house is on a 3,708-square-foot property. The Fire Department declared it a “total loss” after the fire, and it has not been occupied since then. After a building has been designated as dangerous the city is obligated to move forward on the demolition process, for which the owner is charged, Brunette explained. Westside Pioneer article |
