BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - News 4 brought a derelict property to the attention of city leaders on Thursday. First thing Friday morning, officials toured the home and, based on what they found inside, approved its emergency demolition.

The home on Davey Street has been a thorn in the side of neighbors for the past decade. It was boarded up, but after the property manager came by, people started going in and out. When Kenny Musante confronted a man leaving the vacant house, he was slashed in the face.

On Friday, City Council President Rich Fontana toured the home, which now sports an emergency demolition order posted on it.

"Very, very dangerous situation," Fontana said. "If there was ever a fire here, the firefighters would fall right into the basement as soon as they walked into the property."

Fontana put through the emergency demolition order just hours after he spoke with News 4 on Thursday, and insisted city inspectors tour the property, which has become a haven for squatters. Musante knows how dangerous a situation it became.

"I would hope to catch the guy who did this to my face, that's the main thing," he said. "I didn't deserve this to happen."

Musante used a garbage tote to shield himself from the man who kept swinging a sharp object at his face. He says had the tote not been there, he could have been more severely injured.

The house has been on the city's radar for some times, and a judge ordered it to be torn down weeks ago, determining the house is a danger and demolition is necessary to protect the public.

Fontana says the whole process takes awhile, but the demolition of the house will be moved to the top of the list and it will likely be torn down by the end of next week.

The demolition will cost around $20,000. A city judge ordered the homeowner, Odetta Klopfer, to pay for it.

A PROTEST against the demolition of houses in Barangay Balintawak, Escalante City, Negros Occidental marred the commemoration of the 28th Escalante Massacre on Friday.

Bernardo Patigas, secretary-general of Northern Negros Human Rights Advocates (NNHRA) said that as of Friday, seven houses, as per court order, were demolished and more are up for demolition based on the information they received.

He said they are not against the Caminos family whose heirs are claiming the properties. The NNHRA, he said, is just giving assistance to the affected families on their rights to be provided with a relocation site. As of this time, the affected families don't have a relocation site.

The commemoration of the Escalante Massacre was attended by about 5,000 protestors including the families of the victims of the September 20, 1985 tragedy.

Patigas recalled that the main issue of the protestors during the Escalante Masacre was to demand for the end of the Marcos dictatorship, because of too much oppression, and militarization that led to poverty.

A reenactment of the massacre was done by the members of militant groups to where it happened 28 years ago.

We continue the struggle of those who died in the Escalante Masscare because up to this time, those problems and cause fought by those who were killed continue and even worsened, Patigas added.

Internal demolition (9/16/2013)

SALEM A case could be made that the demolition of the old library at Salem State University has gone on forever.

Borings and other pre-demolition tests began soon after the library closed in 2007, when it was deemed structurally unsound.

A rear section of the building came down several years ago to make way for the new Frederick E. Berry Library and Learning Commons, which opened this month.

A white, Christo-like tarp went over the remaining section of the library last spring, when demolition began in earnest on a building that had been adorned in scaffolding for years.

This final phase of the demolition, which started around May, is still going on and isnt scheduled to be done until December.

Despite the truck traffic, noise, dust and other by-products of demolition, there have been relatively few complaints about this project, according to city officials and a neighborhood group.

Until this past weekend.

The noise of jackhammers and street congestion finally got to residents, several of whom lodged complaints with the city. While the mayors office said it heard from only one person, the building inspector and a city councilor said they have received several calls in recent days.

Building Inspector Tom St. Pierre said he contacted a state inspector yesterday to forward the dust complaints and reports of jackhammering on Saturday, which would violate a city ordinance. He pointed out, however, that this is a state project under state regulations and oversight.

One resident said that while Saturday was the worst, problems have been ongoing.

GRAND BLANC, MI Demolition of the vacant Citgo gas station in downtown Grand Blanc is expected to start as soon as next week now that a reimbursement agreement with the city is in place.

The Grand Blanc City Council has agreed to reimburse A. F. Jonna Development and Management Co. as much a $900,000 for cleanup at the site.

The site has sat vacant for about three years.

Arkan Jonna said he started working on this project back in October 2011.

"It's been a long time since I've had a community work with us to try to clean up a mess," Jonna said. "There was trust on both sides to get to this point."

Planned for the site, located at the corner of Saginaw Street and Grand Blanc Road, are two commercial retail buildings one 8,800 square feet and the other 3,200 square feet. Both will be single-story buildings.

The city will reimburse Jonna for the cost of the cleanup which includes demolishing the building, removal of the storage tanks and any environmental cleanup of the soil.

It is estimated to cost about $903,000, although City Manager Paul Brake said the cost might come in less than estimated. The city will pay for the costs through a bond.

As part of the proposed development, FirstMerit Bank's driveway, which is located just north of the site, will be developed into a sidewalk and community space. An entrance into FirstMerit Bank will be added from Saginaw Street.

"I'm anxiously awaiting this project as the rest of the city is, as well as what things we can potentially do in the future," said City Councilman James Bappert.
