The Swampscott Board of Selectmen has asked local public safety officials to determine whether or not the town should condemn potentially unsafe structures on the old General Glover House site after a small fire broke out on the town-deemed blighted property.
Selectmen’s informal charge follows more than a year’s worth of enforcement actions from the office of the Swampscott Building Commissioner to force the property’s owner, Sunbeam Development Limited Partnership (Sunbeam), to put the rundown commercial property, 299 Salem St., in compliance with Swampscott’s blighted property bylaw.
