FARGO (KFGO) - A request for a 120-day extension for the demolition of a condemned house at 924 5th Street South in Fargo, owned by Danial Curtis, has.
“What real choice do I have? They’re going to come in and demo my house,” owner Danial Curtis said. “I don’t have any other place to go; I’m going to be homeless.”
A new potential owner was granted a stay-of-execution for the building’s demolition so that they would have time to secure ownership, obtain necessary permits and fix up the building.
An ongoing civil court battle over the property's fate is further complicated by criminal trespassing charges that Danial Curtis now faces for remaining in the house.
A new owner has purchased the home at 812 Seventh St. N. at auction and been granted by the Fargo City Commission 180 days to repair the home in efforts to save the house from demolition.
