Construction has stopped completely on the new 5-story Comfort Suites hotel in Sunset Hills after the Mehlville Fire Protection District issued a stop work order on the project that has been in effect for more than two months.
At press time the stop work order was still in effect at the fenced-in construction site, as confirmed by MFPD Fire Chief Ed Berkel. HR Sheevam, the owner of the Days Inn and the new Comfort Suites under construction at 3660 S. Lindbergh Blvd., submitted a new plan that appeared set in late March to win fire district approval, but had not been approved by press time. A new water pipe has to be finished before construction can resume.
