PARKERSBURG The Wood County Commission is looking at having a dilapidated house on Crawford Street torn down.
The commission discussed the property Thursday.
On Dec. 28, emergency crews were dispatched to 111 Crawford Street where a hole had to be cut in the roof and heavy equipment used to help remove someone who was in health-related distress. The person weighed a lot and crews could not remove him because of access issues in the home and structural issues.
Wood County Compliance Officer Sarah Robinson and Wood County Engineer Maria Hardy were on the scene to assess the condition of the home. Both determined it was not fit for human habitation and believe the county needed to take action to have the property cleaned up and the house torn down.
