The city of Peoria has started a demolition case on the property.
“We started the demolition case about a month ago because we noticed some of the façade is actually crumbling and cracking,” said Joe Dulin, assistant director of the Community Development Department for the city of Peoria. “We’ve tried to close off the sidewalk, and we are actually going back today to put some more caution tape up.”
The demolition process is not a quick one. The current property owners have been notified that they need to repair the building. If they don’t respond, the soonest the building could be demolished is October, Dulin said.
