A public hearing was set by the Town of Brookhaven for November 17 at 5:30pm to discuss a property in Selden that has been deemed unsafe by an engineering report ordered by the town.
The engineers at Cashin, Spinelli & Ferretti, LLC conducted a visual inspection of the home at 93 Oakdale Avenue in Selden on September 12th. The inspectors observed that there were numerous building code violations and dangerous conditions.
The premises is a 0.34 acre residential property with an approximately 1,400-square-foot, wood framed, two story, residential structure on a concrete foundation over a crawl space.
“Generally, the exterior of the building is in extremely poor condition due to a lack of maintenance,” the engineering company reported, according to Brookhaven Town documents.
The public hearing will allow the owner or “other persons having an interest in the premises” to be heard.
Town documents showed that the estimated cost of demolition of the property will be between $25,000-$35,000 that would be paid from an Unsafe Buildings, Demolition of Unsafe Buildings fund with an available budget of $320,744.12 in 2022.
A public hearing is the next step in the process to have the structure removed.
