Summary
The Town of Montour Board adopted a resolution requiring the homeowner at 1899 Fitzpatrick Hill Rd to remove a fire‑damaged mobile home by the end of June 2025; Building Inspector Rick Carroll will notify the owner and share information about the NYS Mobile Home Replacement Program.
The Town of Montour Board adopted a resolution on Jan. 14, 2025 requiring removal of a mobile home at 1899 Fitzpatrick Hill Rd after a fire left the structure a total loss.
"RESOLVED that due to a fire at 1899 Fitzpatrick Hill Rd resulting in a total loss of the trailer and deeming the structure an unsafe building the homeowner is required to remove the building from the property by the end of June 2025," the board recorded after Councilperson Yessman moved the resolution and Councilperson Stamp seconded it. The motion passed unanimously, Ayes 5, Noes 0.
Building Inspector Rick Carroll reported the fire caused a total loss and described the structure as unsafe; he said he will send the homeowner a notice that includes information about the NYS Mobile Home Replacement Program. The resolution sets a compliance deadline for removal by the end of June 2025 but does not specify penalties or enforcement steps beyond the notice and timeline.
The action was recorded under the board's regular reports section rather than as a separate public hearing. The board's record shows the resolution was adopted following the building inspector's report and the motion recorded in the minutes.
