The courthouse includes the Orleans County state Supreme Court and county and Surrogate courts. Family Court matters have been shifted to the village hall in rural Albion, located 30 miles west of Rochester, reported The Associated Press.
Court system officials say remediation work began Monday against a flea infestation that was found throughout the courthouse. Officials said the courthouse should reopen Wednesday morning.
An administrator said both the courtroom and courthouse offices were vacated to accommodate the project.
“Orleans County officials are working extremely diligently to remedy the issue,” he said. “We’re optimistic that by Wednesday morning we will resume regular courthouse operations.”
