The owner of an abandoned house on Main Street in Liverpool that burned down in May has seven days to clean up the site.
According to Nova Scotia property records, 89 Main St. is owned by Rosemarie Jacob, who owns 13 other properties in Queens, Lunenburg and Shelburne counties. If Jacob doesn’t begin the cleanup or appeal the order within seven days, the Region of Queens will do it and charge it as a lien against the property.
Region of Queens Mayor Darlene Norman said Tuesday the owner is hard to find.
“Staff have used every avenue they have to contact the owner. We have simply been unable to contact the owner.”
The house at 89 Main St. caught fire overnight on May 13. The Liverpool Fire Department eventually got it under control, but the structure had to be torn down.
