In continuing their pledge to rid communities of neighborhood eyesores, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Lou Imbroto recently announced the demolition of a decaying and hazardous zombie home in Plainview. The Town sought court intervention to remove this longtime eyesore from the community following neighborhood complaints about the rotting exterior, collapsing roof, as well as rubbish and debris littering the yard. The property owner demolished the home after the Supreme Court issued an order granting the Town’s demolition motion.
Supervisor Saladino stated, “This property was completely uninhabitable, dangerous and a community eyesore. Town code enforcement officers sought maintenance from the property owner due to deplorable conditions, and then obtained court approval to remove this eyesore from the community after the owner failed to act,” said Supervisor Saladino.
Councilman Imbroto added, “We’re taking back neighborhoods and removing eyesores from the Town of Oyster Bay. Our Town Board is committed to protecting your quality of life in the Town of Oyster Bay while paving the way for new homes and new families.”
The Town Code Enforcement Bureau is charged with the application of all codes, rules and regulations pertaining to zoning, housing and public safety. It is expressly designed to handle requests of citizens regarding possible violations.
