Resident complains of burning wires at 1010 Vermont; questions raised about US Steel money
Summary
During public comment, a resident alleged burning wires and a strong odor at 1010 Vermont Avenue; another resident asked about the disposition of US Steel funds and was promised a breakdown by the borough manager.
Two public commenters addressed council on Oct. 15.
Mike Tomak of 418 Broadway raised health and safety concerns about the property at 1010 Vermont Avenue, saying neighbors are "burning wires and stuff and the smell is horrible" and that tarps on the site prevent visibility. The minutes record his complaint but do not show any immediate enforcement action or response from code enforcement during the meeting.
Betty Kaczka asked what happened to US Steel money. Borough Manager Elaina Skiba responded that she would provide Kaczka with a breakdown of how the money was spent.
The Oct. 15 minutes capture the questions and the manager’s commitment to follow up; they do not record any timeline for staff response or subsequent enforcement steps for the property complaint.
