CITY OF NEWBURGH – Every parochial school in the City of Newburgh will undergo re-inspection in response to last week’s condemnation of Sacred Heart elementary school due to concern over structural issues, acting fire Chief Terry Ahlers said.

Two firefighters are being deployed specifically to perform updated inspections for the schools, which include Bishop Dunn Memorial School and Nora Cronin Presentation Academy.

“All of them will be visited in February,” Ahlers said.

Sacred Heart has been closed for classes since Jan. 17, when Newburgh firefighters responding to boiler-room smoke condemned the building due to structural issues, including cracked walls that raised concerns of a collapse, tilted floors and leaking heating system pipes.

Parochial schools like Sacred Heart undergo annual building maintenance and safety inspections, Ahlers said. But none of Sacred Heart’s past reports indicateed problems with walls and floors, he said.

On Tuesday Timothy McNiff, the Archdiocese of New York’s school superintendent, said during a meeting with parents of Sacred Heart’s 183 pre-kindergarten-through-eighth-grade students that classes with resume as early as Monday at the former home of St. Joseph School in New Windsor.
