Mr. Cummins was at the meeting and agreed to comply. Once served, he has 30 days to bring the building down. Meanwhile, the village board issued a stay for a home at 47-49 Martin Street. The house was severely damaged in a fire October 24, 2018. A representative for the property owner, who is living in Israel, said he wants to comply, but has had difficulty securing quotes for either repair or demolition. The village noted the home has been frequently vandalized. After a brief discussion, the village issued a two-week deferment before declaring it an unsafe structure.
