Peru – July 10, 2023. Code Enforcement Officer Bob Guynup watched as the 5 School Street house fell today. Guynup issued code violations over several years and brought the issue to Peru Town Court. Finally, the Town Board took the many required legal steps to demolish the building. Because the building was in disrepair and unsafe to enter, state regulations require that asbestos is assumed to be present. The contractor hauled the debris to the region’s hazardous waste landfill in Frankin County. The town will include the demolition cost in property owner Dale Bradley’s tax bill.
