Demolition of Windermere Court postponed indefinitely, says Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell

The demolition of the Windermere Court building, the West Philadelphia apartment complex that erupted in a massive blaze a month ago, may be postponed indefinitely, according to Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, who helped former Windermere residents get a 48-hour extension on the site's demolition, originally scheduled for Monday, after residents protested being unable to retrieve pets and possessions from the building.e

Blackwell told CP today that the property owners will need to re-file for demolition. She explained that this process may take a while because the case will need to go through the court all over again.

CP contacted the Department of Licenses and Inspections, which oversees demolitions, for confirmation, but has not yet gotten a response.

If L&I won't confirm then....best not to assume it's true since this is the only news site running with this. I can't find it anywhere else on the web. People have been getting through via telephone all day to L&I. I do hope it's true...but L&I - please confirm!
