BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – With all the snow and ice WNY has gotten from recent storms, there are concerns about all that weight accumulating on rooftops.
One family in South Buffalo says a gutter from a house next to them came crashing down due to the heavy weight from icicles and now they’re calling for action.
Donna Kuhn says for years she’s had concerns about the condition of a home right next to her.
On Sunday, she says a gutter from the home came crashing down because of ice that built up.
Luckily no one was hurt. That gutter also took down a telephone wire. Eventually a maintenance crew came by to clean all this up. Donna reached out to Call 4 Action for help to hold the owner of this home accountable for neglecting it.
According to property records, Erie County lists the owner of the home as the City of Buffalo, but Donna says the owner lives in Canada.
News 4 showed the damage to a city spokesperson earlier Wednesday and within hours a code enforcement officer arrived on scene.
