Town Declares Waterfront Restaurant 'Dangerous'

Structure that was home to Stillwater's Restaurant & Lounge before Hurricane Sandy being boarded up by town due to neglect.

Three Seaford properties battered by Hurricane Sandy last fall have now been declared emergencies by Hempstead Town for poor neglect.

Stillwater’s Restaurant & Lounge, which never reopened after suffering significant structural damage during the Oct. 29, 2012 superstorm, was included in a June 17 resolution approved by the the Hempstead Town Board that declared dangerous conditions for 26 buildings throughout Nassau County’s South Shore.

The town’s resolution states that the closed eatery on 2851 Ocean Ave. was determined by the building department “to be a source of imminent danger to the life and/or safety of the residents in the area.”

A sign outside the former Seaford Harbor restaurant says the property is for sale with ReMax as the listing agent. Nobody affiliated with the property could be reached for comment. 

Other Seaford properties the Town of Hempstead seized control of in its June 18 resolution include an abandoned home on 3896 Clove St. and a neglected garage on 2481 Jackson Ave. 

Hempstead Town spokeswoman Susan Trenkle-Pokalsky said both are related to damage caused by Sandy. 

Cipco Boarding Company Inc. in Lynbrook has been directed by the town to install chain link fences around all the properties declared as emergencies.
