LIVERMORE FALLS – Selectmen voted Wednesday to authorize Code Enforcement Officer Ken Pratt to take action on three properties that could be considered dangerous buildings, interim Town Manager Kristal Flagg said.

Three selectmen, Chairwoman Louise Chabot, Jackie Knight and David Lemire, consulted with a lawyer prior to making the unanimous decision, she said.

Properties that Pratt was authorized to act on are 90 Main St., owned by Thomas Harville of Skowhegan, 416 Campground Road in East Livermore with both Leo Copp’s and Cathy Nichols’ names on the property, and 1 Birch St., owned by Roger LaPlante, Flagg said.

Harville’s apartment house was badly damaged in a fire in March. Two juvenile boys, 15 and 16 at the time, were charged with arson and breaking and entering in connection with the blaze. The house was vacant at the time and not insured.

“I’ve taken steps to board it up after the fire, and I’ve made it so no one can get into it,” Harville said Wednesday. “I’ve tried to do everything I could do with the funds I had available.”

He called the victim’s advocate in Lewiston to see how the criminal case against the boys is going, but hasn’t heard back, Harville said.

Cathy Nichols of Fayette said she sold the Campground Road property to Copp three years ago through an owner-finance agreement. He has been responsible for the upkeep of the property per the contract agreement, she said. Copp has finished paying for the property and the deed is in the process of being transferred, Nichols said. She is hoping to have it finished by the end of the week, she said.

Attempts to reach Copp and LaPlante, who is building an upper floor on his home on Birch Street, at the corner of Park Street, were unsuccessful Wednesday.

“The town’s attorneys are going to get back to us with a proposed plan of action on what procedures we should be following to get these three properties up to code,” town Code Enforcement Officer Ken Pratt said.
