Demolition Notice
810 SW Palatine
|
Portland's Bureau of Developmental Services (BDS) is requiring a 30-day delay on demolition of the structure at 810 SW Palatine to allow for neighborhood input. Additionally, notification of neighbors is important because of air quality impacts during the demolition due to possible release of hazardous materials such as asbestos or lead-based paint.
A representative will be available at the October 14th meeting to answer questions about the planned demolition at 810 SW Palatine.
