The owners of the former Spring Valley adult home where two people died three years ago have agreed to fence in the property and bring in 24-hour security so no one enters the property. That’s according to the Journal News. The agreement between Rockland County and Evergreen Court’s owners reportedly means the court case against them comes to an end. Rockland’s Office of Building and Codes last month sued to force the owners to secure the site after many violations were found. 35 year-old Lieutenant Jared Lloyd of the Spring Valley Fire Department and 79 year-old resident Oliver Hueston died in the fire that engulfed the facility, the result of a Passover cleansing by two area Rabbis.
