Kingston Township officials are
going to court to obtain permission
to demolish a vacant home at 65
East Center Street, Shavertown that
has been termed ‘‘an eyesore.”
Two other houses at 129 South
Memorial Highway, Trucksville,
and 47 South Pioneer Avenue,
Trucksville, are also scheduled to
be demolished with the permission
of the owners.
The home on East Center Street
has been in ‘dilapidated condition
at least since 1972,” according to
Kingston Township Manager Mark
Kunkle. “The windows of the struc-
ture are broken, the steps falling off
and the weeds have grown so high it
looks like bamboo in the back
yard,’’ he stated.
The house is owned by Arlene
Rineman of Forty Fort, who has
reportedly ignored an official 30-day
notice to either fix the property or
dispose of it. Kingston Township has
adopted a building code and con-
tracts for the services of Code
Enforcement Officer Tony Reino
through the West Side Council of
Governments.
Following a meeting on the situa-
tion with Kunkle and Reino, Kings-
ton Township Solicitor Benjamin R.
Jones has been authorized to insti-
tute a Title Search on the property.
This is in preparation to taking the
case before Equity Court which has
meets twice a year.
The other two houses will be torn
down shortly under a $5,000 Block
Grant obtained from Luzerne
County. The house on Pioneer
Avenue was recently purchased by
Catherine Sutton from Henry Ger-
hardt.
The house on Route 309 stands in
front of the The Lame Duck Outlet
and formerly housed the Road
Runner Record Store and a Shoe
and Sneaker Outlet. Owners are
Gerald and Mary Ann Gizenski and
Eleanor Kush trading as ‘‘The
Lame Duck Outlet’, who reportedly
want the building demolished so
their business will be more accessi-
ble from the highway.
