Lumberport council moves on condemning unsafe structures, seeks grants for demolition
Summary
Town inspector flagged unsafe houses and storage buildings; council discussed boarding up, asbestos checks and using DEP/Region 6 grants to pay for demolition and remediation.
Town Inspector Randall Jaggie reported multiple problem properties and recommended condemnation or boarding up of structures deemed hazardous to public safety. The inspector noted adoption of updated code standards (ICC 2023 codes are newer than the town's current 2018 materials) and that grant assistance from Region 6 or DEP can help with demolition and remediation.
Council discussed next steps including asbestos checks before demolition and working with Region 6 on grant writing. Rosanne Rashella presented the Region 6 Hazard Plan as a distinct agenda item and the council adopted the plan to support future funding eligibility. The council also recorded an on-the-ground action: Code Enforcer Randall Jaggie will speak directly with resident Holly Berrish about a property issue.
