Lumber Yard Condemned by Smithtown's Building Department

A sign now adorns the door of the vacant building, but plans to work on the building by the developer could soon be viewed by the town board.

The former home to Nassau Suffolk Lumber and Supply Corp., the abandoned lumber yard at 102 West Main Street in Smithtown, has been condemned by the town.

Signs have been placed on the door by the town's building department, stating the building is "unsafe and its use or occupancy has been prohibited."

While the building is currently condemned, Town Council member Edward Wehrheim said there has been chatter about plans by the developer to move forward with building at the location.

"We're being told through the rumor mill that the developer is in the process of getting ready to submit a new site plan to the planning department," he said. "It's very similar to the old one, some changes – I don't have any idea of what they are. We would wait until it's turned in to our planning department and then as a board take a look at it."

Wow the wheels of progress certainly grind slowly on Smithtown. It only has taken how many years to condemn a building that nature has been reclaiming for at least four years? Bravo Smithtown

Can someone clarify what it means when the Town condemns a building. Does that mean the owner has to tear it down, or just secure it?

Will we finally get a decent grocery store?

The town moves fast only because they're across the street.

Because the half dozen in the area aren't enough?

What I can't stand is the trashy buy gold stores. Surely there is something that can be done about all those signs, they are offensive. Why can't this town look like Northport or Huntington?

This should not be a problem getting passed. It is across from the hospital there is a nursing homeRead More near by. We need more nursing homes as there are no beds available for our aging population. If you want to stay here near your family as you age and need a nursing home in the future, let them build this. You do not want to go outside of Smithtown and live in nursing homes out of this area - trust me, they are not nice! It is a fact of life, we are all going to be there one day- at least have a say in it and have them build one for our future needs. They do not have much noise or activity- really. Plus they will bring jobs to our area.

25A is called North Country Rd. in the St. James area ( Northern Blvd. is more Nassau and Queens)...Read More Thanks for the update on this creep!

Nick, North Country rd. is 25A. Northern Blvd. intersects 25A and runs all the way to Roseville.Read More Northern Blvd is a small street about 1 mile long that is one block over from smithtown HS East main entrance. It's a serious problem when most of the neighborhood walking to the HS will pass by this creeps house. It's a totally different Northern Blvd.

I don't think the town has a say in it. That is the good old MTA.
