South Peoria and North Valley shows many dilapidated, abandoned houses with boarded windows.

PEORIA — A ride down streets in South Peoria and the city’s North Valley shows many dilapidated, abandoned houses with boarded windows.

City officials have long tried to improve the look of some these blocks by demolishing homes that are unsafe or have a “blighting influence.”


The problem is, the vast majority of money budgeted for 2015 to raze the structures has been used. More than $750,000 has been spent knocking down 73 houses in just six and a half months. Most of these homes are in South Peoria, the East Bluff and the North Valley, said Assistant Community Development Director Joe Dullin. Last year, it took the city nearly 11 months to knock down the same number of structures.

These old abandoned buildings aren’t only eyesores but can be illegal shelters for the homeless, dangerous playgrounds for children and sites for criminal activity. In some blocks of South Peoria, up to 25 percent of the homes are boarded up or vacant, said Ross Black, community development director.

“Last year the city tore down more houses than we historically ever torn down in the south end, but there’s still a need and demand for more,” Dullin said.

Black said unless a building is an immediate danger to lives, such as the fire-damaged home at 401 NE Monroe St. that burned in late May, no progress will be made on the “list” of homes in need of demolition this year.

Even if more money was available, deciding to knock down homes that went through the lengthy process of getting a court order for demolition gets complicated when emergency cases arise.

“We were not anticipating a demolition (at 401 NE Monroe St.) and all of the sudden we have to do it,” he said. “We may go into a week saying ‘We can knock down this house, this house and this house’ and then we get a lot of rain or there’s a fire and we have to start all over again.”

At least seven more emergency demolitions occurred because of near-record rainfall and flooding in June.

Black did say the city is making progress on improving the appearance of neighborhoods, though it will be a number of years until the number of houses in need of demolition is under control.

Dullin said it is tough to determine exactly how many homes need to be knocked down because the department understands that it does not have the resources to secure all the court orders and pay for demolitions.

Black agreed saying, “Unfortunately there’s no lack of buildings that could be demolished. At least for the foreseeable future we’re going to have more properties that need to be demolished than we’ll have funds to do the demolitions.”

He said the increased need for demolition, which costs at least $8,000 per single family residence, is due to a lack of funding in the 1990s — the city simply wasn’t knocking down old houses. The problem has cascaded and now demand heavily outweighs supply, leaving blocks littered with homes that hurt the image of some neighborhoods.

Moreover, increased demolitions produce increased vacant lots, which also have a negative influence on a community’s appearance and requires upkeep that is paid for by the city. A legislative effort that would let the city impose liens on other properties across town — or elsewhere in the state — owned by the individuals who hold title to the dilapidated structures has been stymied.

“We’re just trying to catch up,” Black said. “Houses will simply continue to deteriorate and if you can demolish the houses that in the worst shape every year, then you can create stability in neighborhoods. The problem is once you get behind it’s really difficult to catch up unless you have a massive funding source that can come in and help.”

For a building to be torn down, the structure must meet one of 13 “dangerous building” criteria, which includes having boarded windows and entrances, outlined in chapter five of the City Code. A demolition order must be then granted by a judge, which can take six to nine months.

In 2014, about half of the 86 homes demolished were in South Peoria. The North Valley and East Bluff had 14 and 13 houses torn down, respectively.

How much should I pay to tear down a one car garage demolition?

How much should I pay to tear down a one car garage demolition?

The roof on my existing garage is in poor condition and the garage is starting to lean to one side.

Garage Demolition

Typical wood construction - probably about $2000 plus or minus $500 assuming no hazardous materials like asbestos or lead paint - double that if the garage has them, which if the garage old is most likely. This does NOT include removing foundation or slab, which would add probably that much again to double that much to remove concert and refill hole.

This estimate assumes dumping fees of a couple hundred dollars a truckload - if you have dump fees of a hundred or two a ton like we have, then a truckload can run $1000 just for the dump fee - so can easily triple your cost.

If concrete or block then probably about 50% more on demo cost - but demo disposal cost may go down if you have a concrete recycling facility in your town, which commonly take it for less than $50/truckload - basically a paperwork fee.

Barn Dismantling and Demolition in Peoria, IL


Successful barn demolition in Peoria, Illinois area depends largely on the quality of the contractor you hire.  Whether your plans involve deconstruction and a step-by-step dismantling of an old barn, or a quick and safe removal.

Top two reasons to demolish your barn

A well-constructed barn can last decades, even more than a century with proper care. However, there comes a time when the wooden supports give way to weathering and aging. Here are the top two reasons to demolish the barn rather than let it sit as is:

Safety – Old barns with rotted support beams and damaged roofs are an accident waiting to happen. Even beyond the safety aspect, many older barns are not insurable by the insurance company. That means if someone gets hurt in or around the barn, you could be liable to pay for their injuries.
Aesthetics – An old, rundown barn is an eyesore to an otherwise nice property. A dilapidated barn also can lower the value of your property, so it’s a good idea to either replace the barn or simply demolish the old structure.

Neighbors Hope New Funding Will Tear Down More Vacant Houses

PEORIA, Ill. -- New funding could help demolish vacant homes in Peoria. Thursday, the Illinois Housing Development Authority announced a $10.5 million investment in communities across the state.

Peoria Citizens Committee for Economic Opportunity will get $770,000 to tear down about 22 properties by 2017.

"By having a big impact in a small area, we hope to see a ripple effect," said Peoria's 3rd District Council Member, Tim Riggenbach. "We saw that to a large degree last year. This additional money is only going to make that ripple that much larger."

The details are still being worked out, but the money is expected to help areas in the South Side and East Bluff. Neighbors hope the new funding goes a long way in turning their communities around. For the last 45 years, Bobette Shrode has lived on South Greenlawn Avenue in Peoria. Over the years, neighbors left town, leaving dozens of homes battered and neglected.

"A lot of the houses that are so bad, you wonder why they are still even standing because the people let them go," said Shrode. "There's really no property value down here anymore."

Last year, Peoria went full-force in demolishing vacant homes. The city ran short on money in July, after tearing down more than 70 houses for about $700,000. Only one empty house is left standing on Shrode's block.

"It's better to have a vacant lot than a dilapidated house," said Shrode.

The new funding will help tear down an additional 22 houses and landscape the areas. Peoria Citizens Committee for Economic Opportunity will handle the project. They will work with city officials to determine which houses are top-priority.

"I think this will be able to help because instead of just seeing a bunch of vacant houses, we will see a lot of green landscape and fresh air on this end," said Peoria resident, Angela Traylor. "It will make it great."

Council Member Tim Riggenbach said he is also looking forward to using leftover money from the Attorney Generals Grant in the East Bluff Neighborhood. Six new houses are expected to be built along with another six renovations.

Peoria Area Demolitions

PEORIA, IL — A ride down streets in South Peoria and the city’s North Valley shows many dilapidated, abandoned houses with boarded windows.
City officials have long tried to improve the look of some these blocks by demolishing homes that are unsafe or have a “blighting influence.”
The problem is, the vast majority of money budgeted for 2015 to raze the structures has been used. More than $750,000 has been spent knocking down 73 houses in just six and a half months. Most of these homes are in South Peoria, the East Bluff and the North Valley, said Assistant Community Development Director Joe Dullin. Last year, it took the city nearly 11 months to knock down the same number of structures.
These old abandoned buildings aren’t only eyesores but can be illegal shelters for the homeless, dangerous playgrounds for children and sites for criminal activity. In some blocks of South Peoria, up to 25 percent of the homes are boarded up or vacant, said Ross Black, community development director.
“Last year the city tore down more houses than we historically ever torn down in the south end, but there’s still a need and demand for more peoria area demolitions,” Dullin said.
Black said unless a building is an immediate danger to lives, such as the fire-damaged home that burned in late May, no progress will be made on the “list” of peoria area homes in need of demolition this year.
Even if more money was available, deciding to knock down homes that went through the lengthy process of getting a court order for demolition gets complicated when emergency cases arise.
“We were not anticipating a demolition and all of the sudden we have to do it,” he said. “We may go into a week saying ‘We can knock down this house, this house and this house’ and then we get a lot of rain or there’s a fire and we have to start all over again.”
At least seven more emergency peoria area demolitions occurred because of near-record rainfall and flooding in June.
Black did say the city of peoria is making progress on improving the appearance of neighborhoods, though it will be a number of years until the number of houses in need demolition is under control.
Dullin said it is tough to determine exactly how many homes need to be knocked down because the department understands that it does not have the resources to secure all the court orders and pay for peoria area demolitions.
Black agreed saying, “Unfortunately there’s no lack of buildings that could be demolished. At least for the foreseeable future we’re going to have more properties that need to be demolished than we’ll have funds to do the peoria area demolitions.”
He said the increased need for peoria area demolitions, which costs at least $9,000+ per single family residence, is due to a lack of funding in the 1990s — the city simply wasn’t knocking down old houses. The problem has cascaded and now demand heavily outweighs supply, leaving blocks littered with homes that hurt the image of some neighborhoods.
Moreover, increased peoria area demolitions produce increased vacant lots, which also have a negative influence on a community’s appearance and requires upkeep that is paid for by the city. A legislative effort that would let the city impose liens on other properties across town — or elsewhere in the state — owned by the individuals who hold title to the dilapidated structures has been stymied.
“We’re just trying to catch up,” Black said. “Houses will simply continue to deteriorate and if you can demolish the houses that in the worst shape every year, then you can create stability in neighborhoods. The problem is once you get behind it’s really difficult to catch up unless you have a massive funding source that can come in and help.”
For a building to be torn down, the structure must meet one of 13 “dangerous building” criteria, which includes having boarded windows and entrances, outlined in chapter five of the Peoria City Code. A demolition order must be then granted by a judge, which can take six to nine months.
In 2014, about half of the peoria area 86 homes that were demolished were in South Peoria. The North Valley and East Bluff had 14 and 13 houses torn down, respectively.
