ABANDONED HOUSE SET FOR DEMOLITION AGAIN

We've been following the saga of 4 Mountain Ave., the abandoned house that was set for demolition after neighbors petitioned to get rid of the eyesore that has been vacant for years.

Township Committee members voted in November to begin demolition of the house, which has received numerous code violations over the years.

When the owner, Claydes Ahmad Smith, and potential buyer, Michael Yablonsky, pleaded for a stay last month and promised it would be sold by December 4, the TC said they would hold off on a demolition.

But Township Attorney Roger Desiderio said last week that no word of a sale had been heard and the owners had not kept the Township informed as they promised.

That prompted the TC last week to approved a resolution to seek bids for a contract to do the demolition.

See the approval below:
