IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. — A family forced out of their home by a major landslide on Carl Sam Drive is now focused on saving their house.
The Rins were told last Thursday they couldn’t stay in their home after the landslide. They’re applying for a permit from the Town of Irondequoit to get work started on filling the landslide and keep it from getting worse.
News10NBC reporter Declan Stablow spoke to the family again and returned to the scene, where he saw multiple Town of Irondequoit vehicles checking out the damage. Dave Stafford lives next door and brought an arborist by to cut down some of the trees in his yard. If they were to fall down themselves, they would’ve taken part of the yard with them.
The damage seems to have slowed, but there’s still concern it could get worse. The Rins say they want to make sure they get the fix done right so this doesn’t happen again.
“It’s very very stressful now that the nightmare is over now the stress is coming out. It’s just like OK what needs to get done? What needs to be approved and trying to figure out who to talk to have the right people to talk to and have us in the right way so we don’t get screwed again,” Kardy Rin said.
At one point, the Department of Transportation was there to assess damage but told the Rins they can’t fix private property. The Rins say the damage extends beyond their property line.
Stablow called and emailed the state DOT to see if it would work on that land but hasn’t heard back. The DOT referred the Rins and Staffords to the Monroe County Soil and Water District. On Monday, the MCSWD said it would check out the scene this week.
The MCSWD told News10NBC this morning it hasn’t been there yet. It says since it’s a major landslide, it’ll take time to assess. There’s still no word from them on what caused the landslide.
