The occupants of a Seabrook motel were recently forced to evacuate after gas service to the property was shut off as a result of code violations involving a water heater.
A Rockingham County Superior Court judge issued a temporary restraining order on Dec. 21 to force the motel to make immediate repairs after finding that the gas appliances in one of the units at the Phoenicia Motor Inn at 131 Lafayette Road was unsafe and posed a âclear and imminent danger of carbon monoxide poisoningâ to those staying in the unit and other occupants.
Seabrook officials took legal action against motel owners Kerry R. Chuang and Ying Chuang following an inspection on Dec. 16.
