HAMPTON – Numerous potential health and safety hazards were identified at the Harbor Square apartment complex in downtown Hampton by inspectors who checked out the property in advance of its purchase by the city of Hampton, according to documents obtained by the Daily Press.

The problems detailed in a conditional assessment report in October included asbestos, mold, lead-based paint, roach infestation, rusting and failing stairways, a broken sanitary sewer system, and furnaces leaking exhaust directly into units. The city estimated it would cost $4.5 million to $5 million to repair Harbor Square.

At the time, Hampton faced the prospect of running Harbor Square as an apartment complex for about four years before it could be demolished. It had offered to buy the property from Olde Town Associates LLC for $14.5 million.
