Demolition in Pennsylvania to open neighbouring structure to elements. But that’s OK.
Ford City Borough Council in Pennsylvania passed a resolution last night to have Tom Sipes Demolition tear down the now infamous Building 228 in the Eljer/PPG complex at no cost to the borough. The centre of the debate came because the building is structurally connected to property owned by a Mr Dennis Tiche.
When the demolition was bid last April, Senate Engineering had compiled a list of specifications demolition companies were required to follow. Once the Borough’s part of the building is demolished, it will leave an opening in Tiche’s part of the building. Senate specified a wall to be erected to close off Tiche’s section and maintain the integrity of the structure. The agreement with Sipes does not include the same requirement.
