Re: vacant boarded up property next door

More | Report Post

This is negligence not only from the owner but from the City

Also you can get other residents involved to request for the
owner to clean his act a.s.a.p....the more the stronger

If you get a Lawyer involved I hope you collect Attorney's fees,
Court fees, your time etc.,

Good luck again
