The town of Islip has demolished a Central Islip house that was damaged in a fire and abandoned.
Town officials determined that the dilapidated house at 41 Storey Avenue was a danger to the community.
“We are serious about improving every aspect of our neighborhoods, and in many places that begins with addressing these derelict and hazardous houses that have been plaguing our community,” said town Supervisor Angie Carpenter in a release.
The home owners will be billed for the cost of the demolition.
