2044 S Preston St demolition order issued

Owner SV Rehab LLC has an emergency demolition order for the two-story brick mixed-use building at 2044 S Preston Street. Inspectors found exterior brick walls bulging and bowing toward the sidewalk, separated mortar joints and pulled brick ties, plus a collapsing rear roof aligned with a 2½-story masonry chimney that’s threatening an occupied neighboring property—so the structure is posted as imminently dangerous to life and safety.
