Spencerview Renovations Start After Condemnation
Work began last week on repairing or demolishing about 20 homes in the Spencer view area after the city condemned them in Deer Park. Barato Ventures plans to return repairable houses to usable condition while demolishing those beyond repair. Repairs cost 2500 to 5000 dollars per home, with lawns trimmed and several houses active. The project follows a 60 day work order from a judgment affecting 10 condemned homes, and city attorney P B Dover notes roughly 30 more homes may be condemned. An agreement with Barato offers relief if steady progress continues, avoiding further condemnation.
