Residents at The Pointe are still being displaced from the facility they call home until additional unsafe conditions are resolved.
Earlier electrical issues were remedied in mid-July and residents were told that they could safely return to the The Pointe and other repairs would continue. However, a press release from the Mayor’s Office Tuesday, July 30 indicated that although the electrical issues were made safe and electricity was restored, further unsafe conditions were uncovered during the repair process. City officials say a damaged and leaking roof was identified. While working with a roofing contractor to assess the necessary repairs, additional unsafe conditions were revealed, according to the press release.
The Building Commissioner issued an Order to Vacate the building until all unsafe conditions could be addressed and rectified. Until the necessary repairs are completed, it is deemed unsafe for residents to return to The Pointe.
Community organizations such as United Way, Link To Hope, and Center Township Trustee have collaborated to assist residents in finding temporary housing solutions while repairs are ongoing. The City of Plymouth remains actively engaged with the property owner to determine the feasibility and timeline for making the building habitable and safe.
