Board approves demolition of deteriorated duplex at 1012 South McDuffie
Summary
The Board of Architectural Review approved demolition of a duplex at 1012 South McDuffie after staff said the structure does not contribute to the historic character of the district and is beyond repair. Owners had previously received warnings and responded to a courtesy summons.
The Anderson City Board of Architectural Review approved an application to demolish a duplex at 1012 South McDuffie, following a staff recommendation that the building be removed because it no longer contributes to the historic character of the district and is in advanced deterioration.
City staff said the owners received multiple warnings about the structure and responded to a courtesy summons on Jan. 13 of this year. Staff reported the roof and other elements are beyond repair and recommended approval of demolition. The board accepted staff—s recommendation and voted to approve the demolition.
A board member noted that a nearby structure had been demolished a few years earlier, but staff clarified they did not have a record of prior demolition approval for this particular building. The board did not record a formal roll-call of individual votes in the transcript; the motion to approve the demolition carried.
The transcript does not identify the property owner by name, the demolition contractor, or the proposed demolition schedule. The action will be administered through the city—s building department and code enforcement processes.
