Chamber backs state building code in Beckley address
The Beckley Chamber of Commerce endorsed a statewide building code after Dennis M. Leary, a member of a five man committee of the West Virginia Society of Professional Engineers, urged enforcement through strict inspections. He warned of collapsing retaining walls, a burst sewer line, and a leeched infrastructure risk tied to poor construction and lack of enforcement. The discussion referenced the 1947 Mrs. Hal Payne Campbell case and the Bair Brothers mezzanine collapse, underscoring calls for vigilant city inspection and code compliance.
