What is being done about dilapidated property in one Pennsylvania borough?

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — A dilapidated building on a busy stretch of Bedford Street in Dale Borough is reportedly in danger of collapsing.

Now, those concerns are becoming a hot topic on social media and neighbors are sharing their worries.

Dale Borough officials claim that they have “done all they can” about the property at 930 Bedford Street.

Officials say the owner has been notified that the roof is caving in and the building is in such a state of disrepair that it must now be torn down.

The owner, Roman Mason, also acknowledged that the borough did everything they were supposed to do, according to local ordinances.

Mason says he’s had trouble finding someone willing to tear the building down because it’s so close to other structures. He says he had a contractor scheduled but they got tied up on another big job and left him in the lurch.

Mason also says he accepts full responsibility and will have the old building torn down soon.

Dale Borough officials note that if that doesn’t happen in the near future, their next step is legal action.
