Apr 18, 2021 1 hr ago The Code Enforcement Department within the City of Fairmont needs to get out of its own way so city council can reignite its derelict home demolition program. According to Mayor Tom Mainella, city staff have been taking an inventory of the homes that are abandoned and falling down in local neighborhoods. Itâs now simply time to follow the council membersâ wishes and take action. Under the previous city manager, who left Fairmont in late 2018, the city previously had a robust derelict home demolition program that was funded with around $400,000 each year. The methodology currently used to demolish derelict and abandoned homes by the city is costing too much money and taking too much time.
