Town of Brookhaven Demolishes Vacant “Zombie House” at 691 Horseblock Road in Farmingville

Written by Chris Boyle  |  04. December 2024

On December 2, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico (left) and Councilman Neil Manzella (right) were on-hand for the demolition of a “zombie house” located at 691 Horseblock Road in Farmingville. 
 
The dangerous eyesore, which had been vacant for decades, was uninhabitable, a blight on the community and a source of resident complaints. The structure was demolished by the Town of Brookhaven in accordance with Chapter 73 of the Town Code which provides a “fast track” to rid neighborhoods of unsafe structures. 
 
The cost of demolition, debris removal and restoration of the land to nature is the responsibility of the property owner. 
 
A video of this demolition and others in the Town of Brookhaven can be viewed at www.BrookhavenNY.gov or on Brookhaven Cable TV Channel 18.
