At a recent meeting, the Windom City Council declared a local fire-damaged home to be a hazardous building.
The decision came at the request of Building Official Andrew Spielman, who pointed out that a Feb. 5 fire left the home’s second floor completely open to the weather. The house is also missing windows and doors.
