Clean it up or tear it down, Canfield home owner told

AUSTINTOWN — The Mahoning County Board of Health has told the owner of a Brookpark Drive, Canfield, home to make it livable or tear it down.

At a special meeting Monday, the board voted on the abatement order for 535 Brookpark, which is owned by John and Georgia Holowach, said Mary Helen Smith, director of environmental health.

No one representing the family attended the meeting.

The Holowachs’ daughter, Betsy Spin, 32, and her husband Brian Spin, 38, lived in the home. They were ordered to leave it Oct. 22 after Canfield city police and the Mahoning County Dog Warden removed two children, ages 2 and 7, and 10 animals from the home.
