Paterson Museum closed for now

A Paterson Fire Department inspection found the Paterson Museum to be a safety hazard which lead to the closure of that historic building Monday afternoon.

Authorities found rain water seeping through the ceiling and into the electrical panel; small pieces of the building fell on Market Street which resulted in the initial fire inspection.

The museum will remain closed until the owner — the City of Paterson leases it — of the building repairs it. An obscure organization currently owns the building; however, there have been contentions as to who is in charge of doing maintenance of the building, an issue that might prolong the downtime of the museum.

All events scheduled at the site has been cancelled.
