Release date: October 31, 2016
City of Goldsboro residents who returned to their homes after the flood waters receded and found TEMPORARY CONDEMNED SIGNS can repair their homes. It does not mean the home is non-repairable and needs to be bulldozed. The reason houses have been temporarily condemned is that there was water in the crawl spaces or the home. Residents are recommended not to stay in the resident until AFTER FINAL INSPECTION.
Steps to repair homes
- Determine damage to home
- Contact City of Goldsboro Inspections Department (919-580-4385) for FREE permits
- Contact a licensed contractor for electrical and mechanical (heat/air) repairs.
- If water was in the home, mitigate 4 feet of sheet rock and insulation.
- Re-inspection of electrical and mechanical – Contact City of Goldsboro Inspections Department for FINAL inspections. TEMPORARY CONDEMNED SIGNS will be removed at this time once the inspections have been passed.
The Inspection Department’s Flood Damage Repair Policy is posted on the City of Goldsboro website.
For more information, contact Allen Anderson, Building Codes Inspector for the City of Goldsboro, at 919-580-4385 or 919-580-4389.
