BELLAIRE –Â A roadside relic is being razed in the village of Bellaire.
The former 7 Inn, located in the 1600 block of Belmont Street, is being demolished after many years of sitting empty and neglected.
Dick Flanagan, chief of the Bellaire Police Department and codes enforcer, said he was set to speak with the property owner on Monday about the former motel.
“I’m meeting with the owner this afternoon. It’s going to be razed all at the owner’s expense,” he said.

Since taking over the codes enforcement duties in 2017, Flanagan has worked to get ruined properties either razed or repaired in the village. Dozens of dilapidated houses have been razed, mostly by the owners themselves since Flanagan took over the position.
