Adams Officials Seek Action on Decaying Harmony Street House

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

The town's owed more than $72,000 in taxes and interest since 2011 but the owners have died and the heirs don't want it.
ADAMS, Mass. — The town is re-initiating legal steps to address a neighborhood eyesore on Harmony Street. 
 
Neighbors of the property located at 6 Harmony St. have expressed concerns surrounding the deteriorating and unsafe condition of the conventional single-family residence.
 
"This is a house that is sort of collapsing in on itself. It's probably in need of demolition," said Town Administrator Nicholas Caccamo. 
 
To do that, there are two steps that need to occur — the creation of the Board of Survey and the appropriation of funds, he said. 
 
"We'd be moving an article to town meeting for an appropriation for slum and blight costs that demolition might occur," Caccamo said. 
 
"So, that's an item that we'll be bringing forward, as requested by the board, for consideration when you sign the warrant.
 
The town does not own the property. It previously attempted to place a lien on the property for $16,167.08 in unpaid taxes accrued between 2011 and 2017.
