Burlington neighbors think blasts from Amazon hub construction are damaging their homes

Richard Ison began to notice the tremors shaking his Limaburg Road home in September — “like an earthquake,” he said Monday night. “The house would shake for a few seconds every day at 1:50, like clockwork.” His neighbors felt it, too. When he found new and widening cracks in his foundation, so did they. Ison’s fireplace pulled away from his house. A repairman estimated he would have to pay $20,000 for a complete fix; if he sells the home instead, he expects to lose 25% of its value in the process.
