Last Chance Given to Eways on Willcox Hotel Compliance
Judge Rodney Peeples gave owner Joseph Eways until May 2 to comply with court orders to renovate the Willcox Hotel at Colleton Avenue and Chesterfield Street. The city had sought to declare the building unsafe and in fire code violation since a 1982 suit, with conditions to secure ground level openings, erect a fence, and allow city access for inspections. If noncompliance is shown, demolition could be ordered at the May 2 hearing.
