The historic Bliss Building has been a fixture in Downtown Albuquerque for more than 120 years. 

Now, the owners have less than a week to decide the fate of the recently collapsed building.

The city announced Friday that Dawn and Steve Vatoseow, owners of Lindy鈥檚 Diner, must apply for a renovation or demolition permit by May 15.

If they do not, the city will move to demolish the structure and recover the costs through a property lien, Mayor Tim Keller said during a Friday news conference across the street from Lindy鈥檚 Diner.

鈥淲e all wanted different solutions to reopen it and renovate it, but at the end of the day, there is basically no way to do construction without it being too dangerous, so the building does have to be demoed,鈥� Keller said.

Demolition through a public works contract would be more expensive than if it were done privately.

If the city handles the demolition, the estimated cost would be at least $600,000, according to Alan Varela, director of the city鈥檚 Planning Department.

Dawn Vatoseow said she was notified of the city鈥檚 decision less than 20 minutes after she and her husband returned home from the hospital, where he had heart surgery.

Her family was sad to learn they had only a week to decide the fate of the historic building and family restaurant.

鈥淚鈥檓 at a loss,鈥� Dawn Vatoseow said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 like everything is being taken away from us. A lot of blood, sweat and tears have gone into that place.鈥�

Dawn Vatoseow said State Farm, the insurance company that covered the Bliss Building, has not been responsive, and she does not know whether she will receive an insurance payout before a decision must be made.

鈥淭he letter from the city said they were going to charge us a minimum of $600,000, plus all the fines and fees and everything else that goes with that,鈥� she said.

Additionally, she said the city will not allow the Vatoseow family into the building until Monday at the earliest. Dawn Vatoseow said she is hesitant to make a formal decision until she can assess the full scope of the damage.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a very frustrating feeling that I鈥檓 being locked out of any decision that is being made,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 haven鈥檛 even had access to the building. How am I supposed to get anything remedied?鈥�

Flamenco Works directors Jes煤s and Amalyah Mu帽oz said they felt some relief to have an update about their building, which shares a wall with Lindy鈥檚 Diner. City officials said demolition is not expected to affect their building, though the Mu帽ozes said they are somewhat skeptical. They said they are relieved to know their building is structurally sound.

In the meantime, Flamenco Works will not host classes inside the building until a decision is made about the Bliss Building. Updates about future classes will be posted on the Flamenco Works website.

鈥淲e were getting sick because we鈥檙e so stressed out and we鈥檝e been overworked,鈥� Jes煤s Mu帽oz said. 鈥淲e literally were fleeing the scene with no information, so this was great to hear.鈥�

Varela said the building was not designed to last much longer than it did. The structure consisted of a three-layer-thick brick wall made of bricks significantly more permeable than modern bricks, he said.

鈥淲e did the right thing and we have no regrets about that,鈥� Varela said. 鈥淥ur only regret is that the building somehow got into this sort of condition over the years and wasn鈥檛 properly maintained.鈥�

Ben Harrison, a local artist who rented a studio inside the Bliss Building, said he was sad to hear about the potential demolition after advancing his art career in the space. He said he is searching for a new art studio, though he was disappointed to have to move.

鈥淚鈥檝e been boxed out of there since it happened last week, so I can鈥檛 access my things,鈥� he said. 鈥淚鈥檝e been there for three years, and it was a dream studio to me. Honestly, my art career really took a turn here.鈥�

Downtown Albuquerque will remain open for business. People visiting Downtown can expect to see fencing surrounding Lindy鈥檚 Diner for the next 60 to 90 days, Keller said.

Lanes at Fifth Street and Central Avenue will remain closed, though drivers can now travel westbound on Central. Vehicles can travel southbound on Fifth to Central to go east or west, and from Central, drivers can go north on Fifth.

鈥淲e鈥檝e done our best in the time that we have owned it to serve this community and enjoyed every second of it,鈥� Dawn Vatoseow said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 heart-wrenching to see it go down like this. They can take the building away from me, but they can鈥檛 take those memories away.鈥�
