Four years after the City of Albany condemned a house at 610 Sherman St. and then had it demolished, the still vacant lot has new owners and is being prepared for construction.
Reacting to a wave of complaints from neighbors and others, the Albany City Council voted Wednesday to have the city clean up the lot at 610 Sherman St. S.E. as a danger to public health.
Six months ago, the city of Albany had a contractor tear down the 891-square-foot house at 610 Sherman Street S.E. This month there’s a scheduled court date on the city’s lawsuit involving the site.
As reported at the time, a city contractor tore down David Furry’s 891-square-foot house at 610 Sherman St. on Jan. 27. Since then I’ve tried to find out more about it, and I still have a question.
David Furry, 60, says he’s now homeless after the city of Albany demolished his house at 610 Sherman St. S.E. on Monday. After watching this for a bit, I have some questions about the process that led to the demolition being ordered and carried out.
At 610 Sherman St., a new chapter begins
