99% of you do not understand downvoting.

It is for off-topic, rule-breaking, spam, or non-contributing posts or comments.

People however downvote facts and opinions they disagree with. The more downvotes a comment/reply has the less it appears to readers.

You use it to silence people you disagree with - even if they post a true fact or valid opinion.

It sucks really

Now most of you will prove me right.

Cool to see a neighborhood bar doing great ... just wondering what the attraction is there? anyone?

South Genesee Street is also filthy

>On this day in 1973 a 2nd Alarm Fire with 2 Special Calls occurred at 141 Marlboro Rd. – The Southwind Terrace Apartments.

>The fire department was originally dispatched to a detail at that location at 4:12AM, a regular alarm of fire was requested at 4:38AM. A 2nd Alarm Fire was requested at 4:50AM, and shortly thereafter Special Calls for 2 Engine and 2 Truck were made.

>The Southwind Terrace Fire is considered one of the most controversial fires in the history of the City of Utica.

>The 1.5 million dollar, 3-story frame brick veneer, L-shaped building was a complete loss. The occupants of the luxury apartments ran as fire spread rapidly. All 105 apartments were rented at the time, more than 200 people were living in the building. Most had actually left for travel during Memorial Day Weekend.

>Police Capt. William Williams and Patrolman Carl Kovacs were among the first to arrive, they ran through the building to attempt to evacuate residents. One young woman reported waking up to the smell of smoke and seeing flames “eating away at her ceiling”. Residents stated the sprinkler system never activated. This was later confirmed by Chief of the Department Jack Greco, and Assistant Chief Cuzzigvolio.

>20 minutes after the 2nd Alarm was struck, and after residents were taking shelter near their cars, they were ordered out of the parking lot as exploding ammunition was heard.

>FF Arnold Skoler of No. 12 Engine was extensively burned in the early stages of this fire. He was first on scene. He walked through the building with a tenant for 20 minutes, after they reported smelling smoke. Engine 12 was just getting ready to leave when FF Skolar saw smoke and flames coming from the attic area. He requested a regular alarm and attacked the fire. He was burned on his face and upper torso after the flaming roof and ceiling collapsed in on him on the third floor. He was all alone at the time. He was located and urgently rushed to the hospital.

>Truck Co. 5’s aerial was raised and in operation after this building became fully engulfed. 10 steel bolts gave way on the truck, letting go a 1-ton, 100-foot aerial ladder to which Firefighter Arthur Farber was securely anchored. Farber was a 2-month rookie at the time.

>Farber rode the ladder down from 30-40 feet up in the air and sustained severe injuries. He was trapped in the ladder after it fell. Immediately after the crash, 14-year veteran, James Montana climbed down a 20 ft ladder, and ran over to assist Capt. William Owens and 2 other firefighters to free him. Farber then stopped breathing and turned blue, FF Montana gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, was unsuccessful, then performed a tracheotomy, inserted a plastic tube, and continued giving breaths all the way to the hospital. He was off-duty and called back to the fire.

>Farber was listed in critical condition at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. It was later determined that he had a fractured wrist, collarbone, bruises to the face, torso, and loss of sensation to the left hand. Assistant Chief Cuzzigvolio stated the ladder detached from the circular steel table, “All the bolts sheered right off”.

>When the aerial ladder tore loose from the rig with the firefighter crashing face down, the scene became very hectic. “This is a real bad day, a hell of a way to start out the holiday weekend”, a spectator said.

>The 20-year-old truck company was worth $50,000 and manufactured by American LaFrance out of Elmira. Several firefighters at the scene stated that the truck company was at the shop being repaired as early as two weeks ago, which countered Fire Chief Greco’s statement which he stated the last time it went for repairs was October of 1972.

>Several arguments were made following this fire. It can be further read in the articles regarding the fact that city codes officer Dan Daniels Jr. reported that the building met city code and was issued a certificate of occupancy although it violated State Fire code by not having a fire wall between apartments. The owners would have had to tear down the entire structure and rebuild to install it. They did however install self-closing hardware and fire doors as instructed.

>Another concern reported was poor water pressure from the hydrants on Marlboro and Oneida St. Residents sounded the alarm that no alarms were installed for them to hear, they had to be woken by other residents and firefighters banging on their doors. Finally, an investigation into why the sprinkler system failed to activate occurred.

>Lt. Daniels stated the fire went undetected and burned the entire length and width of the attic space of the 3rd floor before breaking through.

>The manager of the complex at the time was Jackie Zogby. The building was owned by Natapow Realty Corp. The total loss was over 2 million dollars.

>One year later an article came out regarding FF Arnold Skolar. The 43-year-old, 16-year veteran of the Utica Fire Department suffered through 10 operations with more to go, plastic surgery at his head and hands. He stated, “There’s always an occasional smoke inhalation or banged shin, but Southwind was the closest I've ever come to seeing what the other side looked like. I have no complaints I'm grateful to be alive and I can't wait to be back on the line.” He was in St. Elizabeth’s burn ward for 2.5 months with 3rd degree burns. FF Skolar was later promoted to Lieutenant in June of 1974 and received a commendation from Mayor Hanna.

>Arthur Tess Farber returned to light duty in 1975 and retired with full disability following this fire in October of 1980. He passed away at 74 years old February 14th, 2023. He was living in Theodore, Alabama, and spoke of his love of the NY Yankees, serving his country, and loving his family.

>Following the collapse of Truck Co. 5, the company was removed from service and refurbished into a reserve company which carried ground ladders.

>FF Stewart Priest was also treated for a hand laceration, and FF Michael Elefante (later Captain), was treated for smoke inhalation.

>No cause was officially identified for this conflagration; however it was speculated it was electrical in nature. Over 300 separate lawsuits were filed against the owners of the structure, the architects, and the insurance companies. 73 claims were filed against the City of Utica.

>Southwind Terrace opened in 1965, the luxury apartments included putting greens, a swimming pool, a steam bath, clubhouse, tennis courts, private balconies, and air conditioning.

>After the fire, the remaining structures were torn down and in April of 1985 construction on the Brook Apartments began (which are still standing today)

Personally I want them at Proctor Park OR the Harbor Point.
The Parkway was nice, but I live close by and its 100% terror for my pets.
So good ... Harbor Point gets my vote.. the further way from me the better !
