Despite the Shortage of Available Inventory, More Demolitions to Come

An application has been filed to demolish 19 Dolma RoadDespite the shortage of home inventory, which has buyers lined up to see homes and price wars raging, applicants have filed with the Committee for Historic Preservation (CHP) to demolish four more homes in Scarsdale. These applications will be considered at the April 19, 2022 meeting of the CHP.

A few of these homes do not appear to have been listed at all, giving potential homeowners no opportunity to bid on them.

Here is what is on the agenda:

19 Dolma Road, built in 1935. Applications to raze both 11 and 12 Dolma Roads have been the subject of many Village meetings and architectural historian Andrew Dolkart recommended Dolma Road as a potential study area for neighborhood preservation in his 2012 report.

62 Brite Avenue, built in 195062 Brite Avenue

29 Church Lane, built in 1939

2 Ardmore Road, built in 1938
