The Tioga City Commission has given the nod for the condemnation of

Tioga's Viking Motel building to proceed, reported the Tioga Tribune

Wednesday.

Although its previous owner, Peck, had requested the process

be delayed until the frost goes out, the city board has deemed the

building a health hazard due to mold and vermin problems, stated

news reports.

According to the Tribune, the Tioga City Commission has been working

for some time to have the structure either refurbished or razed.

Peck wrote his request to postpone the condemnation process in early

January.

However, it has been delayed numerous times before, so Peck or

someone else would have the opportunity to improve the building or

tear it down.

Peck has asked that he be given enough time to save the knotty pine

wood in the building.

Commissioners reportedly believe enough time has been given to

salvage the wood, and agreed to move ahead with the condemnation.
