DO NOT REPAIR!
The Village of Blanchardville has stopped all repair work on the old Chandler Building!?! After we've replaced the roof and the windows, repaired the plumbing, replaced the front balcony, rebuilt the stairwell and insulated the building under the building permit issued by the village in 2021, the village now requests that all work stop.
Before doing any further repairs, the village demands that we pay for "a structural analysis," pay for "an egress study," pay for "a review of fire separation continuity," pay for architectural plans, pay for engineering plans, and then, after paying their fees, wait indefinitely for plan review by Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.
In other words, don't do anything let it rot as it has for the past 30 years.
