109 Avenue D

Vennis Gilmore, Historic Preservation Officer/Senior Planner

The building proposed for demolition is in very poor condition. It has been heavily damaged by termites and left to deteriorate for an extended period of time. In addition, the structure appears to have had multiple additions performed, which do not appear to be structurally sound. The Property Maintenance Inspection Report (attached) find the building to be unsafe.
 
While rehab of the structure is permitted and possible, it would be at considerable expense.
 
Given that the application meets A, B, C, D, and E of the criteria for demolition of a structure within a designated historic district, staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Board approve the demolition.
