Clarksburg to Remove Condemned House - October 25, 2007
 | | This house on Middle Road will be demolished. |
CLARKSBURG - The Selectmen on Wednesday night authorized the building inspector to remove a muisance building at 610 Middle Road.
The single-family house has been vacant for years and has already been condemned. The property is apparently owned by the estate of Traute E. Demers, according to information at the Registery of Deeds.
"It's falling apart and it's a danger to the community," Town Adminstrator Michael Canales said Thursday. He said no one from the community spoke at the public hearing on the issue Wednesday night.
The town is exploring how the "removal" can be accomplished, he said, including looking into burning the building as a training exercise for the Clarksburg Volunteer Fire Company.
At the regular meeting following the hearing, the Selectmen thanked the Fire Department for its help at the bulky item and electronic waste collection on Oct. 13. The board said the collection was successful. Provided by the Northern Berkshire Solid Waste District, residents were able to dispose of furniture, computers, air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators, lawn mowers and other items.
Firefighters helped the town's senior citizens bring items to the collection. Canales said the board thanked the fire company for offering that assistance to the community.
The board set a public hearing for Wednesday, Oct. 24, for the removal of an unsafe building at 610 Middle Road. The house is vacant and back taxes are owed on it.
