NORTH BEND — Like a scream queen in a slasher flick, she has nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Her days are numbered and come Monday, she’ll have her date with doom.

The house perched on the hill above Sapphires Mongolian Grill will finally see its end next week when demolition begins.

On Thursday afternoon, staff from Fortune’s Bulldozing & Grading LLC, placed heavy machinery on narrow streets leading to the vacant house at 2505 Sheridan Ave.

The house got its death sentence on Oct. 15. Now, it’s surrounded by orange netting to prevent people from entering the property, which sits on a sliding slope. North Bend city councilors decided the house would be demolished as it presented an undeniable danger to the public, for fear it could slip from its perch.

The structure has been a dagger in the city’s side for nearly two years as it has gone through numerous meetings to determine its lot, along with a number of deadlines for its owner, Yesi Guirado, to make it safe by repair or demolition. The city finally took the house’s fate into its own hands late last month, awarding a demolition bid to Fortune’s for $14, 441.

Even so, the house isn’t going without a fight. Investigators found asbestos in the structure, which had to be removed, and now the city has to pony up an additional $9,576 for removal of additional concrete, installation of a sidewalk and curb, and extra excavation and rainwater runoff collection on the slope.

The city also paid about $3,000 for the asbestos abatement. All told, it will cost the city about $28,000 to snuff out the house. The city will eventually charge Guirado via a lien against his property.

Richard Fortune of Fortune’s Bulldozing said workers will begin to raze the structure at 8 a.m. Monday.
