New Fairfield officials have started the process to possibly demolish two houses and a commercial building which have been deemed unsafe by the town's building inspector.  The Candle Hill Road and Roseton Road homes have had trees through the roofs since a May 2018 storm and were never repaired. 

The damage to the Saw Mill Road commercial building was caused by a November 2019 fire.  The building once housed several businesses, including a construction company, landscaping company and handmade furniture business. 

The owners have all been contacted about the roof damage and doors and windows being left open, but hey never responded.  The town's building official say there is a mold stench and the structures are both a physical and health hazard.  People have also been seen entering the structures.  The Board of Selectmen is issuing orders of its own and if they don't hear back and the homes have not been made safe in 45 days, the structures will be boarded up, repaired or demolished. 

The cost of the work would be billed to the property owners, who would have liens placed on their properties.
