Owner reports progress on Carpenter unsafe-building; board schedules November review
Summary
At an unsafe-building review, the property owner described structural work under way — joists removed, house lifted and leveling planned — and the board set a follow-up review for the second Monday in November to check further progress.
The town board opened an unsafe-building review for the Carpenter property and heard a status update from the property representative.
A resident involved with the repair work told the board, "We have made progress," and said crews had removed floor joists, cleared down to the concrete and boarded a back door to prevent further damage. She said the team was waiting to have the structure lifted and leveled by a contractor before installing windows or replacing doors. A contractor at the hearing said that, "even if I was on it full time without my job, it would take over a year and a half" to finish all repairs.
The board emphasized it wanted to see steady progress. Staff recommended another review in about three months; the board agreed to set a follow-up review for the second Monday in November at 6:30 p.m. The chair said the town would revisit the property status at that time rather than pursue immediate enforcement action.
The update included specific next steps: the owner is working with a house-lifting contractor (named in the hearing as Cielati Properties LLC) to level the structure before roofing and window work can proceed. The board recorded no formal penalty at the hearing and framed the November date as a monitoring step.
The hearing record shows the board hearing both a homeowner statement about ongoing repairs and a contractor estimate of time needed; staff said it will check the property again at the scheduled November review.
