BERLIN – The city will proceed with a 155-B order against Michael and Cynthia Gagnon requiring the couple to raze or remove their burned out house at 613 Western Avenue.
The city council Monday night approved Fire Chief Randall Trull’s request to issue the order. The written order describes the building as a fire, health, and public safety hazard. The roof has collapsed which the order states may lead to a collapse of the second floor
