In October 2015, KC and its subcontractor performed condition and asbestos field survey work and a report in preparation for building demolition at 2694 West Main Street. Asbestos-containing materials were found. The multi-family residential structure with attached garage was demolished, which included necessary asbestos abatement prior to demolition. The vacant parcel was transferred to the Village by the owner upon completion of the demolition.
In January 2017, KC and its subcontractor performed condition and asbestos survey field work and a report in preparation for building demolition at 2696 West Main Street. Asbestos-containing materials were found. The Village owns this parcel and is now pursuing building demolition of the main building, which is a multi-family residential structure and an accessory building that includes additional residential units and a garage. Demolition will involve necessary asbestos abatement.
The demolition work at both 2694 and 2696 West Main Street is in preparation for the future Franny Reese Park site adjacent to Wappinger Lake and the Village of Wappingers Falls Dam, and detailed design for the park is currently underway.
At 2696 West Main Street, there is also a brick building, which will not be demolished as it will be retained as a design feature at the entrance to the new park.
For both sites, KC performed inspections, prepared reports, developed cost estimates, and obtained quotes for the demolition. KC also performed inspection services during the demolition of 2694 West Main Street.
