IN THE MATTER OF A VIOLATION OF CHAPTER 90 ("UNSAFE BUILDINGS AND COLLAPSED STRUCTURES LAW OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD") OF THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF SOUTHOLD BY NICHOLAS SCHICK, INC. Present: Supervisor Francis J. Murphy Councilman Joseph L. Townsend, Jr. Justice Raymond W. Edwards Councilman Paul Stoutenburgh Councilman James A. Schondebare Councilwoman Jean W. Cochran * * * 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.

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. * * * t/'.AfrY ~~ ~th~-Terry C/ Southold Town Clerk ,.- . .

CJ~<V .?~ Curtis W. Horton Building Inspector . . TEL. 765.1802 TOWN OF SOUTHOLD OFFICE OF BUILDING INSPECTOR P.O. BOX 728 TOWN HALL SOUTHOLD, N.Y. 11971 July 2, 1984 Town Board Town of Southold Southold, NY 11971 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/ ?/~ Curtis W. Horton Building & Ordinance Inspector CWH:ec ~ '/ -/ '/ c4kA'<?/ ___ / f/ll/tV . . RICHARD F.
