City Commission Targets 1106 Rhode Island for Possible Rehab
Lawrence city commissioners unanimously agreed to begin condemnation steps for the 1871 house and adjacent barn at 1106 Rhode Island Street to avoid demolition and restore the property. The plan hinges on Barland family proposals to meet city codes, with a 90 day timeline and a city buyback process if needed, plus later sale to rehabilitate. Separately, the commission moved to revise rules on unrelated residents in single family homes, removing duplexes from the plan and leaving three unrelated adults in most zones, affecting up to about 3,000 homes prior estimates now unclear.
