Craven County property records show the duplex at 612-614 Bern St. was built in 1925.

A house in the Dryborough area that was targeted for demolition got another reprieve last week after New Bern aldermen tabled the action for 90 days to see if the owner will repair it.

An ordinance to demolish the dwelling at 612-614 Bern St. came before the board Feb. 25, but Alderman Dallas Blackiston asked that it be tabled until last Tuesday because he wanted more information and he thought the house could be a contributing historical structure in Dryborough.

Alderman Bernard White was also against the demolition.

The house may be deteriorating on the inside, but on the outside it looks as good as some in the historic district, White said.

The structure is a duplex and suffered substantial wind and water damage related to Hurricane Irene.

White asked why houses in the historic district were being repaired and houses in Dryborough were being torn down.

Jeff Ruggieri, director of Development Services, said the city was not allowed to demolish houses in the historic district. But the dwelling that is being considered for demolition is not in a historic designation, he said.

Alderman Victor Taylor asked if there has been any correspondence with the homeowner, but Ruggieri said there has been no progress. A couple of hours before the meeting, Ruggieri said he received notice that the homeowner retained Jimmy Dillahunt, planning board member and contractor, to see if there was asbestos or lead paint that needed removing from the dwelling, but that was a small part of what needed to be done, he said.

Development Services works with property owners to come up with a plan and a time schedule that needs to be followed to avoid fines, Ruggieri said.

GLOVERSVILLE - The Common Council has scheduled an April 8 public hearing on an ordinance regarding the demolition of a building at 7 Hill St.

However, it is unclear whether the building would be razed by independent contractors or the county Demolition Team.

The Fulton County Board of Supervisors tabled a resolution to use the county Demolition Team to demolish the building.

The city is trying to gain approval from the county as soon as possible.

The demolition is part of a larger city-owned Hill Street Bridge repair project.

A county board resolution in 2001 established a policy that the team, designed to demolish municipally owned structures, should not raze private buildings.

DPW Director Kevin Jones said the county can do the job much cheaper than an independent contractor. If the county refuses to demolish the building and be reimbursed $25,000 by the city, the city would have to bring in a private contractor to do the same job for about $150,000, Jones said.

Jones said the city is asking the county to do the demolition because the property owner, Mark Vrooman of Utah, has been served with numerous tickets, notices of hearings and condemnation letters but refuses to answer them.

Jones said regardless of the county's decision, the building will have to be demolished so the city can continue with the bridge repair project.

He said the road would have to be closed for the bridge project and the city is trying to complete the project within one construction season.
