THE Cebu City Government yesterday began demolishing the 45-year-old Cebu City Medical Center on N. Bacalso Ave.

The city hospital building was declared unsafe for occupancy after the 7.2 magnitude earthquake last Oct. 15.

During the ceremony that marked the start of the demolition of the old hospital, the Cebu Court of First Instance (CFI) Cooperative gave Cebu City Hall P1 million for the construction of a new hospital.

The demolition of the old hospital had to be undertaken by the Department of Engineering and Public Works (DEPW) as the CCMC ad hoc committee has yet to find a private contractor that will do the job free of charge.

DEPW deployed two heavy equipment to the siteone backhoe and one backhoe loader-and started tearing down the entrance of the CCMC building.

DEPW Head Jose Marie Poblete said a private contractor would get the job done faster.

He added that since DEPW does not have the necessary equipment and technical expertise for such undertaking, it would take them more than three months to complete the demolition.

Target

The CCMC ad hoc committee wants to have the demolition completed in three months because it wants to build the new hospital this year.

CCMC chief Dr. Gloria Duterte said they were sad to see the CCMC building demolished. She considered it her home for 33 years.

A Beaty Street residence that was the scene of a murder-suicide in 2009 has moved closer to demolition.

City of Warren Code Official Alan Gustafson told Warren City Council last Monday that a "notice of violation has been sent out to the last legal owner of record."

The last legal of record was the deceased male, who allegedly shot and killed his wife before taking his own life. Gustafson said that notice was also sent to the guardians of the deceased male's son.

The notices are the next step "to see if we can get this taken care of," said Gustafson, who noted that a demolition notice is the next step.

City Solicitor Andrea Stapleford updated Warren City Council in January that the city has elected to proceed with enforcement under the property maintenance code for existing violations at the residence. Stapleford said that progress under that code could "result in the demolition of this property if not completed within the given time frame."

Gustafson said then that "typically a notice of violation will go out."

A typical timeframe for addressing the nuisances, or to bring a plan of correction to the city, is 30 days, he explained. However, he said they do not expect to receive a response because the owners are deceased. If no response is received, the city can then proceed with demolishing the structure.

"Two to three months should get us to a place where we can make the decision for demolition," said Gustafson.

Under this scenario, the city would demolish the structure, not take possession of the property.

The Times Observer reported in September that the name of the deceased man is still on the deed and that an estate had not been opened for him after his death.

LITTLE ROCK, AR -- Steps to demolish an empty Little Rock building -- that neighbors say turned into a homeless camp -- are underway.

Today crews could be seen working on asbestos removal at the West Markham Professional Building that's located at the intersection of Markham and Tyler.

Fox 16 first reported on this issue last week when neighbors complained about the homeless leaving behind trash.

Residents also noticed other problems in the area and complained about being harassed by the homeless and seeing people in the parking lot having sex.

One woman, living nearby who didn't want to be identified, said, "This is a tremendous relief because we have had no one to back us up until you did a report the other night and finally we see some movement on this property."

The City of Little Rock is working with the property owner to get the building demolished and bring new development to this area.

An Idaho demolition contractor blowed up the Metrodome real good this morning. They touched off the blast about 7:30 a.m., after closing the streets around the Metrodome and cordoning off a safety area in the neighborhood.

The explosive demolition went off without a hitch, according to Mortenson Construction vice president John Wood. The blast was meant to bring down only the upper ring of the structure, after an expected collapse as that was being demolished last week. It was a complete success. It is laying on the ground, Wood said. That was mission accomplished It went exactly as planned.

You can hear the blast here:

Wood said the crew removed 24 columns within the building using 84 charges of conventional dynamite.

Mortenson called in the explosives experts after work was halted by the partial collapse on Monday, Wood said:

As the demolition crews were working on the ring beam with more conventional demolition equipment, a section on this east side came to the ground in an out of sequence and unplanned event. We knew there was some potential of that But when that occurred, we recognized we had to take a different approach to the demolition of a remaining beam.

Its the second time demolition crews have used explosives on the Metrodome. They took out the cables that held up the roof with explosives on Feb. 2.

Dont count on any more, Wood said. We think this will be the last use of explosives in the demolition process. From this point forward, it should be a pretty conventional approach.

Heres the MSFA statement on the blast:

Tim Nelson is a general assignment reporter for Minnesota Public Radio News, and a 20-year veteran of local news. Hes been covering the Vikings stadium issue since 2011.
