To: Supervisor Farrell-Lorentz & Town Board Members Re: Unsafe Conditions of Structure at 5036 Lakeshore Rd. From: Jeffrey Skrzypek, Supervising Code Enforcement Officer Date: May 22, 2026 Inspection Findings: 5036 Lakeshore Rd, Hamburg, NY 14075 The exterior brick on northwest, northeast and southwest walls have been neglected and have been in need of repair or replacement for an extended length of time. The brick along the northwest wall has started to partially and fully pull away from the structure. The front step and side porch steps are in a state of disrepair. The house and garage roof show signs of neglect with some shingle tabs removed. The structure also has approximately three feet of water in the basement. A supporting column in the basement has detached from the floor beam causing possible structural integrity issues. The abandoned structure has long been unsuitable for occupancy. The above items constitute this structure as an unsafe structure per the 2025 New York State Property Maintenance Code Chapter 3 Sections 304, 305 and 306. Summary: The Town residents have voiced numerous complaints to this department regarding the blight caused by this deteriorated property. The property is an unattractive nuisance and a detriment to the community. The neighboring property owners are becoming more and more concerned and are looking to the Town to take action. The property owner was served a Violation Notice on April 1, 2024 and numerous court dates followed. Recommendation: The unsafe and dilapidated condition of this property has continued to get worse year to year. The building is structurally compromised and poses an imminent risk of further failure. It is my recommendation that the Town of Hamburg require the building to be repaired or demolished to remediate the conditions that make this structure unsafe. Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey Skrzypek Supervising Code Enforcement Officer 47
