Surfside Hotel and Suites in Ormond Beach, Florida to be demolished.

One of the ocean front buildings in Ormond Beach, Florida that sustained substantial damage during the 2004 hurricane season was the Surfside Hotel and Suites at 251 South Atlantic Avenue in Ormond Beach, Florida. The hotel has remained closed since 2004 and the deteriorating condition has been the subject of numerous city of Ormond Beach code violations.  The city has reached agreement with the building owners to begin to raze the building by mid May 2010.  The city has also expressed an interest in the land to use as an ocean front park.
