Bliss Building's Fate Hangs in Balance

Albuquerques Historic Bliss Building Faces Uncertain Future: City Grants Final Extension for Renovation or Demolition

The city of Albuquerque has granted a final extension to the owners of the historic Bliss Building, home to Lindys Diner, to decide its fate. Following a wall collapse, the city has given them two extra weeks to file for either a renovation or demolition permit. The city is concerned about public safety due to the buildings fragile state, and once the deadline passes, they may take control to prevent further accidents. The financial stakes are high, with potential demolition costs reaching $600,000, and the city plans to place a lien on the property if they foot the bill. The owners, who have run the diner since the mid-nineties, are trying to sell the place to retire. The buildings lateral support system has serious issues, and the exterior wall is visibly bulging. The clock is ticking, and the city is monitoring the situation to see if the owners can come up with a plan before they take over the site.
