THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
The house on the former Schedler property has stood for nearly 200 years, but several Ridgewood preservationists believe this season’s snow and ice storms have put the building’s structural integrity at risk. And adding to the dilemma, those residents have claimed, is the fact that the village, for a few weeks this winter, was unable to effectively care for the home because of Mother Nature.
Acting Village Manager Heather Mailander, however, notified the public during Wednesday night’s council meeting that a new protective tarpaulin was finally placed atop the historic house on Tuesday. She also personally thanked members of Ridgewood’s signal and fire departments for their efforts, which required employees to physically work on top of the roof and assistance from a ladder truck.
The work completed this week seemingly calmed what had been a winter of worry for many residents in the Schedler neighborhood who are hoping to preserve the house. On Wednesday, Mailander said she spoke with some of the neighbors, who expressed their gratitude to the village.

and who paid for that. this is the 2nd time now.
Just another waste of money that tarp will be shot in six months.
Well the Mayor promised the resident on that side a lot of action so he could get elected. I just have one question for those residents. HOW IS THAT WORKING OUT FOR YOU
#2 you are so right. When will this town of ” so called brilliant people ” ever get it. The land should never have been purchased. It’s an awful site for sports. Rt 17 as a neighbor, ( who’s going after the ball in the street?) Oh yeah, we will have to build sound barrier walls to prevent that. Isn’t that nice? Residents haven’t needed the walls before, but will now have to see that work take forever. Come on Ridgewood.Isn’t it time to fight this? The property should have been sold to the Valleau Cemetery as it was once thought of.
yea ,
Is this tarp the same as Obama’s TARP ?
