Homeowner at 236 S. Main declines siding work after structural concerns
Summary
Commissioners reported the owner of 236 S. Main Street will not proceed with proposed siding work after the home was found to lack sheathing and to have foundation and water problems; a local builder had previously offered guidance.
The Pennington Borough Historic Preservation Commission discussed the application for siding at 236 S. Main Street and heard that the homeowner, John Sowienski, has decided not to proceed with repairs.
Vice‑Chair Robert Chandler said he and Chair Eric Holtermann met with Mr. Sowienski and noted the house "has no sheathing, and there are foundation and water issues," and that the condition and expense led the owner to halt plans. Commission minutes also note that Mark O'Dea of Signature Builders had experience with a similar project and had tried to assist.
The discussion was recorded as informational; no motion to approve work was made. Commissioners did not list a new timetable for reapplication or remediation, and the matter remains open until the owner chooses to pursue repairs.
