West Haverstraw company works to clear its backyard

I drove by Benson Street in West Haverstraw yesterday to check if Raines and Welsh and Sons, a construction company on Railroad Avenue, was clearing up its backyard, following an order from the state Department or Environmental Conservation.
The work was in progress: a piece of heavy machinery was loading piles of dirt onto a truck.
Last month, the company was ruled to be in violation of state regulations, using its backyard to store piles of dirt, pieces of concrete and asphalt without a proper buffer against houses on Benson Street, which runs along the company property.
Several residents on Benson Street had complained about the dust, noise and constant shaking caused by heavy machinery in the company’s backyard.
West Haverstraw building inspector also found that the company did not have a village permit to use the backyard.
I’ll check back again to see if the work is completed.

See Who Cares…no permit and still it goes on…the Mayor might have changed but nothing else….Nothing will be done to help these people. The people are their own worst enemy…When will they see they should have voted for change, instead they stayed with the Democrats…..WHEN WILL THEY LEARN….........maybe Papo Cancel can help, or better yet the new Mayor….Good Luck
