Fire at Park Place Apartments

On September 24th, a small grease fire took place at the new Park Place Apartments.  The building, owned and managed by Boardwalk Investments, is located at 210 N. Bassett St. and was just completed a few months ago.

The fire took place in a fourth floor unit and caused the fire protection sprinklers to go off.  Smoke and water damage was sustained in six different units, as well as associated hallways and laundry rooms.  Engineered Construction was immediately called and arrived onsite within one hour of the incident to help minimize the damage.

Engineered Construction will be handling the mitigation, demolition and drying of all affected areas as well as the reconstruction that will involve new insulation, drywall, painting, flooring, cabinetry, trim, lighting, as well as servicing and cleaning the mechanicals.  It will also be necessary to replace security cameras and get the fire protection system back in service.

Work is scheduled to be completed by the end of October.
