After months of work to obtain permission to assess and repair an abandoned village home, East Williston has authorized a work order to clean up overgrown landscaping on the property. The contract marks the second action taken by the board to improve conditions at the unsightly house.
The homeowners, who abandoned the 26 Orchard Meadow Road house about five years ago, did not respond to multiple village requests to repair “concerning” conditions after it sank into disrepair. So, the village obtained legal permission to conduct the necessary inspections and repairs itself and bill the homeowners, which it has done for extermination services and now landscaping work.
