Title

Appeal of John Starr to a Vacant Building Registration Notice at 568 SMITH AVENUE SOUTH.

 

Date/Time of 1st LH:  Tuesday, October 25, 2022, teleconference between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Purpose of Appeal:  Did not do repairs in time. I was completely defeated mentally. Every time I went there, more stuff was damaged and/or broken. Tenants were not paying and on drugs using my house as a drug flophouse. Tenant's mom had cancer and died and daughter stayed and brought her drugs and friends. They left me with a $836 water bill and almost every window/screen broken.

Date of Order(s) Under Appeal:  September 23, 2022

Inspector/Key Staff:  Matt Dornfeld
