Final Clean-Up Underway At Site Of Demolished Building That Used To Be Lindy’s Restaurant in Aliquippa

Final cleanup of rubble leftover from the demolition of Aliquippa’s Lindy’s after bricks fell from the building located at  Kiehl St and Franklin Ave. in September 2014 is underway, according to Beaver County Radio News Correspondent Sandy Giordano. Lindy’s was a popular restaurant and convenience store for several years before closing. The eyesore materialized after Unis Demolition  owner Ralph Unis said he wasn’t paid in full for emergency cleanup by property owner JoAnn Mike. Debris began to build up as people dumped unwanted items at the site, and Unis was issued several citations by the city code enforcement officer Mike Demcak, the last one in July. Police Captain Ryan Pudik  worked with Mike Demcak, zoning and and code enforcement office,r  for the city on the ordinance.  Pudik said in a phone interview  Unis has been cited many times, not just for the Lindy’s site; one property at  Wykes and Davis St., and three at Grove and Griffith Streets. Neither property has been cleared, he said . The city has eight zones and a blight committee is being formed, and applications for the positions are in the city’s hands for review. Alicia (Hunt ) Williams , a former city resident, moved back home from California and is assisting the city, because she said there needed to be something done about blight in her hometown. The city has 800 vacant properties, and efforts to remove the blight are underway.
