The city’s fire chief has issued an emergency order, calling for the demolition of a north side Youngstown social club, which was the site of a triple homicide last weekend.
A sign on the door from the city’s code enforcement office says the Brothers of Power Classic Cars on Logan Avenue has an order to vacate the premises due to a violation of “general property maintenance.” The sign says the structure is “unsafe.”
A demolition order issued Tuesday by Fire Chief Barry Finley says the building is a “danger to firefighters” and could collapse. Finley cited holes in the roof, floor and said the basement ceiling is collapsing. In addition, he cited a bio-hazard from the recent shooting there.
Around 3:45 a.m. Sunday, police were called to the car club for reports of gunfire. Three people were killed and two were hurt in the shooting.
