The city of Troy is tearing down unkept buildings that are a danger to the community.
“As far as demolishing old buildings, that’s a problem we have had throughout the community, and one that we have been working on for a while,” Troy Mayor Jason Reeves said.He said in many cases, structures get this unacceptable when owners do not distinguish who will care for the building when the owner dies.“They may be an heir of someone who lived here two generations ago,” Reeves said.State law comes into play when a building becomes unsafe for the community.
“How would feel if you work hard to maintain your home, and then you have the structure down the street that is just deteriorating?”Copyright 2022 WSFA 12 News. All rights reserved.
