Town Clerk Judith T. Terry
Town Attorney Robert W. Tasker
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: This is a hearing in the matter of a violation of Chapter
90, The Unsafe Building and Collapsed Structure Law of the Town of Southold,
concerning Nicholas Schick, Inc. property in Orient. I'd like to turn it over to
our Special Attorney Richard Lark.
MR. LARK: At this time I only have one witness, Curtis Horton. Please swear
him for purposes of this hearing.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Raise your right hand, Curt. Do you promise to tell the
whole and nothing else but the truth, so help you God?
BUILDING INSPECTOR CURTIS HORTON: I do.
MR. LARK: Okay, for the record please give your name and address.
MR. HORTON: My name is Curtis Horton. I live on Mason Drive, Cutchogue.
MR. LARK: And are you employed by the Town of Southold?
MR. HORTON: Yes, I am.
MR. LARK: And in what capacity?
MR. HORTON: As a Building Inspector.
MR. LARK: And how long have you been so employed?
MR. HORTON: About seven years.
MR. LARK: Okay, and prior to being employed by the Town of Southold seven
years ago, what, if anything, did you do?
MR. HORTON: I was a building contractor and did all sorts of construction work
for twenty-seven years.
Page 2 - Nicholas SChi. Inc.
.
MR. LARK: Have you had occasion to inspection property at Orient Point owned
by a Nicholas Schick, Inc.?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: Could you tell us when you inspected this property and what was your
purpose.
MR. HORTON: You mean the last time I inspected?
MR. LARK: We'll start at the last time just to orient the Board as to the time.
When was the last time you inspected this property, if you know?
MR. HORTON: I inspected it about June 30th, 1984.
MR. LARK: Okay. And what was the purpose of your inspection on June 30, 1984?
MR. HORTON: It was it seems like the time had run out from the previous things
that he had two years to install the fence and shoring up the building and to come
in with his plans of what he planmed to do with the building and time had run out
and they had not heard from him, so the Town Board informed my superior to have
an inspection made.
MR. LARK: Are you telling us that you previously--sometime previously to June 30th
had inspected this prem ises?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: And was that inspection the subject of a hearing before the Town Board
on January 12th, 1982?
MR. HORTON: Correct.
MR. LARK: Okay, and these adjournments that you're talking about were ones that
had previously been issued by the Town Board, is that correct?
MR. HORTON: Correct.
MR. LARK: Okay. Now, could you just reacquaint us again with the property since
not all the members of the Town Board at that time were present as they are today,
this Board make-up is different. In other words, could you just tell us about the
property owned by Mr. Schick at Orient Point. What's located on it?
MR. HORTON: Well, it was an old hotel, four stories high and has pretty near a
full basement, we'll call it a partial basement underneath it. It was left and neglected
for years and years and years.
MR. LARK: How big would you say this structure, formerly known as the Orient
Point Inn, is? Just generally.
MR. HORTON:
would say pretty close to a 150 feet long.
MR. LARK: And about how wide?
MR. HORTON: Maybe 40 foot wide. It is wider in the back. There's a kitchen
used to be back there, another 30 feet. A jog in the back.
Page 2 - Nicholas SChi. Inc.
.
MR. LAR,K: And there's four stories to this building?
MR. HORTON: Correct.
MR. LARK: Is there any other buildings on this premises other than the one that
you've been just describing to us?
MR. HORTON: I don't recall any, no, no.
MR. LARK: Okay. Was this building that you just generally described the purpose
of your going back on June 30th?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: Okay. Could you tell us what, if anything, that you found on June
30th when you went to the property?
MR. HORTON: I found out that over the last two years the building has generally
gone down hill more than it was before.
MR. LARK: Now, you've got to be specific when you say "gone down hill." Do
you mean literally or figuratively?
MR. HORTON: Both ways. Caused largely by the holes in the roof, the center
section being cut out, all the moistures gone inside and where the moisture goes
in the hallways it just made everything rotten. I noticed a lot more rot in the
initial structure itself than there was two years ago. It was shored up better
than it was two years ago because this was our orders to them. They did in
teleposts to hold it from sagging further, but outside of this areas it's collapsed
a lot worse. In the main hallways itself downstairs, they're all going up and down.
You can see the deterioration of it a great deal more than it was two years ago.
MR. LARK: Okay. What if anything did you do after you did your inspection on
June 30th?
MR. HORTON:
was requested to write a letter to the Town Board.
MR. LARK: And did you write such a letter?
MR. HORTON: Yes, I did.
MR. LARK: I'm going to show you a copy of the letter dated July 2nd and ask
of you if that's the copy that you wrote to the Town Board?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: It is?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: Okay, after you wrote the letter to the Town Board what, if anything,
did you do?
MR. HORTON: Went back and reinspected again.
MR. LARK: When did you do that, if you recall?
Page 3 - Nicholas SChi. Inc.
.
MR. HORTON: Approximately July 22nd.
MR. LARK: And what was the purpose of that reinspection on July 22nd.
MR. HORTON: To write a unsafe building ordinance against it.
MR. LARK: Okay. And as a result of that inspection on July 22nd. did you cause
an inspection report to be filed in your office?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: You did?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: All right. as a result of that report could you tell the Board what
your findings were in that report?
MR. HORTON: Structure is unsafe and dangerous and constitutes a hazard to
safety by reason---
MR. LARK: What was unsafe and dangerous?
MR. HORTON: The Orient Point Inn. It is inadequate maintenance. dilapidation,
abandonment. Large sections of the roof have been removed or collapsed. The
windows and doors have also been removed leaving interior portions of the building
exposed to weather and dampness. The center section of the building is sagging
considerably. The floors throughout the building contain large holes where the
flooring and floor joists have been removed making the floors unsafe to walk upon.
Also the plaster which was in the building is practically all down now. Everywhe're
you look it's just deteriorated. There's been no effort in the last two years to
protect this building in any way.
MR. LARK: Did you come to any conclusions as a result of your findings?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: What was that?
MR. HORTON: The same conclusion I had two years ago. It's time to be removed.
MR. LARK: The building you're talking about?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: Did you cause a notice to be served upon the owner of the property
pursuant to the Unsafe Building Ordinance?
MR. HORTON: Yes. I did.
MR. LARK: And when did you do that?
MR. HORTON: July 24th. 1984.
MR. LARK: And pursuant to that notice did you inform him of your findings that
you just described to us?
Page 4 - Nicholas SChi. Inc.
.
MR. HORTON: No.
MR. LARK: Well, did you tell him in your notice---
MR. HORTON: In the notice, yes.
MR. LARK: In the notice?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: And did you ask him or order him or request him to do anything?
MR. HORTON: To remove it.
MR. LARK: And what time frame did you give him to do that, if any?
MR. HORTON: Approximately 40 days.
MR. LARK: From the date of your notice?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: All right. since sending out that notice--how did you send the notice
to him?
MR. HORTON: Registered Mail.
MR. LARK: And did you get a receipt back---
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: That he had received it?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: Did you also post the property?
MR. HORTON: Yes, I did.
MR. LARK: Okay, and when did you do that, if you recall?
MR. HORTON: July 28th, 1984.
MR. LARK: Okay. Since doing those things, sending out the notice and posting
the property, did you ever hear from the owner?
MR. HORTON: I have not.
MR. LARK: Prior to that time have you ever talked to the owner?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: And who did you talk--tell the Board whom you talked to.
MR. HORTON: Mr. Schick himself, so he identified himself as.
Page 5 - Nicholas SChi. Inc.
.
MR. LARK: And you had had conversations with him prior to this time?
MR. HORTON: Yes, I had.
MR. LARK: What was the nature of those conversations prior to that time?
MR. HORTON: He was asking for more time.
MR. LARK: Did you ever request him to fence it or repair fencing or do anything?
MR. HORTON: I did not, the Town Board did.
MR. LARK: Okay. But did you ever discuss these things with him?
MR. HORTON: That was discussed before, yes.
MR. LARK: Okay. But since sending out this notice on July 28th you said?
MR. HORTON: 24th.
MR. LARK: I believe you said--all right, in the latter part of July. I believe you
said you sent it out on the 27th and posted on the 28th, but we'll come to that.
Have you heard from him at all, meaning Mr. Schick?
MR. HORTON:
have not.
MR. LARK: How about anybody representing him?
MR. HORTON:
have heard from nobody.
MR. LARK: Okay. When was the last time you were on this property?
MR. HORTON: I haven't been on it since this date when I posted it.
MR. LARK: Okay. Has any work, to your knowledge, been done to remove the
building per your order?
MR. HORTON: We sent one of the Building Inspectors down this morning and he
reported back no work had been done on this building.
MR. LARK: In other words, the building is essentially the same condition as it was
when you inspected it in July?
MR. HORTON: Approximately 11: 00 o'clock this morning.
MR. LARK: Okay. What if anything are you requesting this Board here to do as
a result of your inspection and report and sending out the notice?
MR. HORTON: The same as before. Remove this building. Have it demolished.
MR. LARK: You're asking the Board for an order to have this building demolished?
MR. HORTON: Correct.
MR. LARK: When you were there in July of this year, did you take any photographs
of the building?
Page 6 - Nicholas SChit Inc.
.
MR. HORTON: Yes, I did.
MR. LARK: Okay.
MR. HORTON: Also I would like to inform everybody that Mr. Lessard was with me
on the inspection and he agreed with me.
MR. LARK: Okay. All right. Mr. Horton, I want to run through these that I had
the Town Clerk mark. I'll show you Exhibit I and ask if you can identify that?
MR. HORTON: Yes, that's a letter to the Town Board I wrote.
(Letter to Town Board, Town of Southold from Building & Ordinance Inspector
Horton - dated July 2,1984 - Exhibit I.J
(Notice Pursuant to Chapter 90 of the Code of the Town of Southold to Nicholas
Schick, Inc. - dated July 24, 1984 - Exhibit II. J
(Affidavit of Service by Mailing & Posting signed by Curtis W. Horton - dated
August 9, 1984 - Exhibit III.J
(Ten photographs of subject property - Exhibit IV. J
MR. LARK: There's a date of July 2nd?
MR. HORTON: Right.
MR. LARK: Okay, that's Exhibit I. Now I'm going to show you Exhibit II and ask
if you can identify that?
MR. HORTON: Yes, this is the violation notice we sent to Mr. Schick on July 24th.
MR. LARK: : Okay, and that was the notice that you did after your inspection and
report that you testified to?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: Okay, and I'm going to show you Number III and ask if you can identify
that?
MR. HORTON: Yes, it's the Affidavit of Posting and Mailing.
MR. LARK: Okay, and attached thereto is there a return receipt from the United
States Post Office?
MR. HORTON: Correct.
MR. LARK: Now, I'm going to show you a group of photographs which I have
marked as Exhibit Number IV and ask if you can identify those? Take your time
and take a look at them.
MR. HORTON: Yes, these are the pictures I took on July 2nd.
MR. LARK: Pictures of what?
MR. HORTON: Orient Point Inn.
MR. LARK: Are they various exposures of various rooms and certain things---
Page 7 - Nicholas SChit!t. Inc.
.
MR. HORTON: Yes, all different sizes, all different exposures, all different internal
rooms.
MR. LARK: And those were pictures that you took on July 2nd, 1984?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: All right, and what is represented in these pictures, do they fairly and
accurately represent what the picture portrays them to be?
MR. HORTON: The pictures don't portray enough.
MR. LARK: Do these fairly and accurately represent--
MR. HORTON: Yes.
MR. LARK: Mr. Supervisor, we're offering an Exhibit I which is the letter he
wrote to the Town Board as a result of that inspection on June 30th. Exhibit
Number II is the notice he sent pursuant to the Unsafe Building Ordinance, and
Number III is his Affidavit of Mailing and Posting and IV were a series of photographs
that he took of the property on July 2nd, 1984. Do you have anything else that you
wish to add, tell the Board about the condition of the building and reasons for your
recommendation?
MR. HORTON: The conditions of the
getting worse and worse. I f this Mr.
covered up the roof and enclosed it.
of restoring this building.
building, like I say, is deteriorated. Just
Schick had wanted to maintain, he would have
He made no effort at all, so he has no intentions
MR. LARK: So there's holes in the roof today as there were several years ago,
would you :say?
MR. HORTON: I would, yes. I would like to add several other things. In my last
inspection down there I noticed something else I should have noticed before. This
hotel is built is what we call platform construction. Now I've heard a lot of stories
in The New York Times, I've read and everything else saying that this is an old
historic building. The never had platform construction in them days. This whole
building is platform construction. Also I pointed out to Mr. Lessard, I said I want
you to show me the hold timber in this building. We found none.
MR. LAR K: Do you have any--from your experience, any estimate--
MR. HORTON: There's no hand hewn beams in this building that we could find.
MR. LARK: Well, do you have any estimate, from your experience, as to when this
building might have been originally erected?
MR. HORTON: Most of it is rough sawn hemlock and like that, which is well after
1860, in that era.
MR. LARK: All right. Is there anything else
recommending that the building be demolished?
chance that this building could be repaired?
you want to add to why you're
In other words, is there any possible
MR. HORTON: No, it isn't practical to maintain it for what they were talking about,
as an Inn, because the ceilings are too low and the State Code says today they got
to be higher. There's no room for bathrooms. There is nothing in this building
Page 8 - Nicholas sChif!t. Inc.
.
there that would make it practical to do this.
MR. LARK: As it stands--
MR. HORTON: As it stands today.
MR. LARK: have no further questions.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any Board members have any questions of Curt?
GOUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Yes. In your letter on the 2nd--l'm not looking at it
now, but you seem to recall--you made a statement that Mr. Schick had done a
commendable job in securing the outside of the building at one point.
MR. HORTON: I will say that, yes. Everything that was done that we agreed
upon two years ago. The temporary shoring of the building he did. The front
end of the building, you can see the original pictures and it was sagging and he
did shore it up. He did put a fence around this place, cost him considerable
amount of money. There's also a few times, I think it was two times, by now
it may be three, that he was asked to repair and replace sections of this fence
which they kept chopping holes in, which the man did.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Excuse me here. But during the time that we first
looked at the building, or from the time that we first looked at the building, to
the present, the fence has been damaged or sections of it have been torn down
several times?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Is there indication that--was that indication that people
had been getting in to the---
MR. HORTON: Yes, I can even show you trails.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Trails where people have been getting into the building?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: So you feel that even though efforts had been made to
secure the building from the public, still the public were getting into the building.
and therefore perhaps the building--it would be very difficult, barring machine gun
turrets and full-time guards to keep people out of that building?
MR. HORTON: Correct, correct. It's very easy to walk in with a pair of bolt
cutters and go through that building.
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: And that's the reason you think--one of the reasons
you think the building should be torn down?
MR. HORTON: Yes.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Curt, when you speak about temporary supports,
how long do you think a temporary support is worthy of life?
Page 9 - Nicholas SCh_, Inc.
.
MR. HORTON: Well, let's put it this way here, where the temporary supports
were put, like in the front sections you could see it from the road, they were
put on timber right out in the weather. Now, there's no covering to this timber.
Now you can put a steel lolly column up, but the base is all getting rotten and
every day it's getting worse because it's right in the open and when the base
goes there goes the rest. You can forget your supports.
COUNCII.},1AN STOUTENBURGH: Temporary means the time has come--
MR. HORTON: Temporary means just what it says, a year or something like that.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any other questions? Dick?
MR. LARK: Okay, if the Board will recall, back on January 15th, 1982 the Board
held a hearing and as a result of that hearing the Board at that time found that
the building involved here, the building formerly known as the Orient Point Inn,
was structurally unsafe and dangerous and constitutes a hazard to safety by reasons
of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation and abandonment. The Board at that time
also, after making that finding, enter into an arrangement to authorize, providing
that the perimeter would be secured and keep the public out, they gave the owner,
Mr. Schick. some various times to come up with a detailed plan as to whether he was
going to demolish it or reconstruction it or just what his plans were, primarily due
to the size and magnitude of that particular building. I know you've had many
meetings over the years with him and his time ran out, according to the Town Clerk,
in April, which of course, forced this thing on which Mr. Horton made his inspection
in June and then you've heard his testimony. So, based on his testimony and prior
Board resolution, we ask for another resolution reaffirming your prior findings and
also ask that the building be torn down. Now, again, since the owner has done some
things and has been in contact previously with you, I request that you go down--the
Town Board go down--access can be had to the premises. Mr. Lessard has made
arrangements with the owner that every time the Building Department and certainly
the Town Board, wanted to go on the property, he made arrangements to go in and
out of the locked gate and the last time they did it, since they've misplaced the key,
they just cut the lock and then put a new one on and sent him, the owner, the key,
so there's no problem gaining access to the premises, but I do think because of the
magnitude and again there might be litigation that would ensue later on, if the Board
agrees with the Building Inspector, that the Town Board personally and physically
take a look at this building and the Building Inspector probably could point out things
to you that are either in the photographs or further questions of his testimony. I
have nothing further at this time.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Again, have you heard anything from their attorney or
anyone?
MR. LARK: Not a word.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: You've heard nothing?
MR. HORTON: No.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Okay, any other Board member have anything else to
say? (No response.) If not, we'll close this hearing.

B. The building on your premises formerly known as the
orient Point Inn is structurally unsafe and dangerous
and as such constitutes a hazard to safety by reason'
of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, obsolescence,
and abandonment. This structure is beyond repair and
should be demolished and removed from the premises.
In particular, large sections of the roof have been
removed or have collapsed, the windows and doors have
also been removed leaving interior portions of the
building exposed to weather and dampness. The center
section of the building is sagging considerably. The
floors throughout the building contain large holes
where the flooring and floor joists have been removed
making the floors unsafe to walk upon.
C. You are hereby ordered to demolish and remove the remains
of this structure.
D. The above work shall commence within ten (10) days from
the date of service of this notice and shall be completed
within thirty (30) days thereafter. Please be advised
that before commencing any demolition work, you will have
to obtain a permit for this purpose.
E. In the event you fail to comply with the above, a hearing
will be held before the Southold Town Board concerning
same at 2:30 P.M. prevailing time on September 11, 1984.
F. If the Southold Town Board after the aforementioned
hearing shall determine that the remains of the structure
is unsafe or dangerous to the public, the Southold Town
Board may order the remains of the structure taken down
and removed.
G. In the event that the remains of the structure shall be
determined by the Southold Town Board to be unsafe or
dangerous and in the event of your neglect or refusal to
remove or correct same within the time provided, the
Southold Town Board may remove such structure by whatever
means it deems appropriate and assess all costs and ex-
penses incurred by the Town of Southold in connection
with the proceedings to remove and secure same, including
the cost of actually removing the structure from the
premises, against the land on which the said structure is
located.

Gentlemen:
On June 30, at approximately 10:45, Victor Lessard and I arrived
at the Orient Point Inn to look at current conditions. We entered
premises and went to rear of building for access. I found the
building to be in much worse shape than two years ago. The floor
is sagging more. The center of the building seems to be crumbling.
I noticed more effects of dampness than before. The roof is in
worse shape. I checked each wing in the center section and took
pictures noting where rep~irs are needed. "
We went to the third. floor. In the west section I found
large holes in the roof. -Walking had to be done carefully to
avoid going through the floors. I looked carefully, with Mr.
Lessard, for old timber and noted none. All is rough-hewn,
which is not of Revolutionary Age. It is my opinion that this
building, due to neglect, weather, and age, is beyond repair and
should be torn down. . -
Also, as a result of an agreement between the Town and owners
in 1982, the owners have done a commendable job in meeting safety
guidelines. The shoring was done. The only complaint I have is
that the area around the fence has grown again, preventing sur-
veillance. It should be clear at all times.
The inspection was completed at approximately 11:50.
Very truly yours,
C~.ft/ ?/~
