Affordable housing for seniors will replace long-vacant, condemned apartments at Berg Place site
PITTSBURGH —
City officials marked the beginning of the demolition of the long-vacant Berg Place housing complex along Brownsville Road in Pittsburgh’s Carrick neighborhood.
Crews on Tuesday started tearing down the seven-building complex, which has been condemned and deteriorating for over a decade.
After it comes down, a new, 52-unit affordable housing development for seniors is planned at the site.
