City Order Appealed Over Biddeford Building Condemnation
Gerard and Eva Moreau appeal a January condemnation of their vacant 99 Summer St property in Biddeford to York County Superior Court. They claim city actions violated housing code and zoning, seek affirmation of a February 1974 building permit for repairs, and argue due process issues including lack of notice to Eva Moreau. The suit alleges the city relied on a state statute over local ordinance and questions progress due to inspectors' delays.

City clerk Angers testified no substantial work occurred in the six months after permit issuance. A court hearing date has not been set.
