Town is asking Skver to evacuate Homowack
The Department of Health has asked the former Homowack Lodge voluntarily to evacuate, the Town of Mamakating supervisor says.
The town and the Department of Health have found numerous health and safety violations.
The facility is being used as a summer girl’s camp.
“After several investigations conducted by New York State Department of Health in conjunction with town of Mamakating and other health and safety agencies, on July 13, the Department of Health requested a voluntary evacuation of the Homowack hotel in the interest of public safety,” Supervisor Bob Fiore said.
Fiore said on Wednesday morning he was not sure if the owners had complied.
“We will be going there today to observe their progress,” he said.
Last Thursday, authorities responded to a oil spill on the grounds.
The county Bureau of Fire and the Summitville Fire Department have also identified numerous violations.
A spokesman for the DOH couldn’t immediately be reached.
