Unsafe Buildings
1016 W Kirkwood AVE
- Case Date:
- 7/2/2014
1016 w Kirkwood is unsafe. It is for sale and has been abandoned for over a year. It has no locking door on the back but rather a broken single pane storm door held by a concrete brick. Inside there the house is dangerous to enter. There is standing water in the basement that has been there for over a year. It is growing mold and mosquitoes. The walls are down to the studs. There are holes in the floors and ceilings. We have have had to call the police due to intoxicated individuals entering at night. I am afraid someone will get hurt or die by falling into one of the holes or the standing water directly across from the back door.
Back door is always unlocked. House has had no one living in it for years and it in general not habitable. At various times homeless are inside using drugs and sleeping.
Window has fallen out of the S. side of the house. The structure looks unsafe.
roof caving in, racoons living in attic, generally in very bad shape, house is vacant and a nusiance to the neighborhood.
There is so much garbage outside this house, the house looks like it's falling down and I think an older lady and children live here. I own the houses next to this and it is VERY much negatively impacting our life. PLEASE do something!
Our neighbors have had a trailer of junk/trash in the front yard for weeks and it's attracting rats in our neighborhood.
garage behind this house is very unsafe and needs to be repaired or removed.
Former tenant moved out house is empty. Abandonded vehicle, piles of trash & old furniture at the side of the house. Rats in the trash. Door handle on the front door has been wrenched off so anyone can and is going in. Old door, trash, screens, & screen door on back porch. She called BPD when seeing what appeared to be lighters flickering. 2 men were arrested.
This derelict property has been previously reported as unsafe due to the open door shown in the picture. It was remedied before, but someone has obviously broken in again.
