Rocky Hill lifts ‘unsafe structure’ order for one of the Concierge Apartment buildings as work continues on others
Rocky Hill’s mayor said residents in Building B can move back in as work continues on the Concierge Apartments.
Mayor Allan Smith said the order to lift the order for Building B was issued by the town’s fire marshal and building officials on Thursday.
There was also concern over asbestos in Building A, according to Smith. He said the town required the Concierge management to conduct air quality testing in buildings A, B, and C (100, 200, and 300) before residents could move back in. According to Smith, the results showed all samples were “below the Connecticut Department of Public Health re-occupancy clearance standard.”
While some residents can move back in, Smith said work continues on the required systems for buildings A and C.
Hundreds of residents were forced to evacuate all five buildings earlier in February due to burst pipes, flooding damage, and a lack of sprinkler systems.
The damage prompted an investigation by Attorney General William Tong’s office.
Three Rocky Hill firefighters were honored Monday night for their part in a rescue on the Connecticut River in March.
Emergency crews responded to Ferry Park in Rocky Hill on March 23 in response to a report of a vehicle in the river.
When they arrived, they found a woman in a Jeep about 35 feet out from the riverbank.
Crews broke a window and pulled the woman to safety after about 10 minutes, according to fire officials.
The woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Monday evening, Captain William Kelly, Captain Roberto Leone, and Lt. Travis Gerace-Hicks were awarded the fire department’s valor award for their rescue efforts.
