Condemned house may halt day care construction
Published on hamiltonspace.com, August 5.
Hamilton may act to stop the construction of a day care center, if an engineer determines that it caused damage that led to the condemnation of a house on Evergreen Avenue.
Carmen and Madge Alessi lived in the house at 240 Evergreen Ave. until it was condemned as structurally unsound by the township after the wall of their basement buckled inward on Aug. 2. Madge Alessi said an engineer for her insurance company told her that constant vibration caused by the nearby construction of a Learning Experience day care center likely caused the damage, though the engineer won’t file an official report until Friday Aug. 7.
