Atlantic City Officials Seek Court Order for ‘Immediate Demolition’ of Trump Plaza Tower

Atlantic City officials on Thursday announced that the city planned to file an injunction in New Jersey Superior Court to demolish Trump Plaza tower after an official inspection declared the crumbling building an “imminent hazard.”

Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. and his chief of staff Ernest Coursey informed Atlantic City Director of Licensing and Inspections Dale Finch on Sunday that several of the tower’s exterior panels had fallen off of the building and plummeted at least 15 stories before crashing to the ground below, NJ.com reported. After meeting with a city construction official and conducting an inspection the property was declared an imminent hazard. ....

“These buildings need to be maintained, and they need to be kept safe,” Evans said. “The most important thing for us is public safety. We need to ensure that the owners of these buildings do not create a situation that is going to pose a threat or risk to the city, or to any pedestrians for that matter, that are within the vicinity of this building.” ….

The building is currently owned by billionaire Carl Icahn, who purchased President Donald Trump’s former casino (which has been closed since 2014) through bankruptcy proceedings in 2016.

Previously, a Nor’easter storm had torn away pieces of the former hotel in 2018, scattering debris that reached the city’s storied boardwalk.
