Liverpool property owner ordered to demolish buildings after years of complaints
A rundown Liverpool property that has been the subject of numerous complaints since 2009 must be torn down in the next 30 days.
Queens regional councillors voted on Tuesday to issue a demolition order to the owner of 90 Common St. in Liverpool.
The property used to be known as the Wesleyan Church. In 2009, Chris Currie and a friend bought the property. Currie is now the sole owner.
Neighbours have lodged many complaints over the years with Queens bylaw enforcement officers, saying the property is dangerous and unsightly.
“It appears to be collapsing in on itself and it presents a clear and present danger to the public,” bylaw enforcement officer Jason Hartung told councillors. “The owner has had numerous years to address these concerns.”
