Somerset Historical Commission approves demolition of 3527 Riverside Ave
Summary
The commission voted unanimously during a May 7 hearing to permit demolition of a WWII‑era house at 3527 Riverside Ave after the Building Commissioner described extensive disrepair; the applicant plans a replacement with the same footprint.
The Somerset Historical Commission voted unanimously May 7 to allow demolition of the house at 3527 Riverside Ave following a short public hearing.
Jim Aguiar, Building Commissioner, told the commission the structure "consisted of WWII construction and was in a state of disrepair to make it not feasible to renovate." Dimitrios Liakos said the proposed replacement would maintain the same footprint and be compatible with surrounding homes. Commissioner Paul Healey reported he found no historical significance for the property.
Commissioner Paul Healey moved to permit the demolition; Commissioner Tony Kucikas seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. The hearing opened at 5:02 p.m. and closed at 5:08 p.m. The decision clears the way for demolition and replacement construction consistent with the applicant's stated plans.
