Raleigh's Fire Marshal asked the city to change the addresses of condominiums in a North Raleigh neighborhood, saying they were having trouble locating the addresses in emergencies. Those changes, however, are now causing big problems for the homeowners.
For 40 years, residents lived on Newton Road, but there was a second Newton Road running off of it, so the name of the second road was changed to Sandy Creek Drive.
Raleigh's Fire Marshall said for years first responders have been driving by the Sandy Creek Condominiums, not realizing they were on Newton Road.
