Writer indicates junk car, rat-infested pile of rocks, tall weeds, etc. See letter in attachments.
The house at 1413 w 11th has been vacant and uninhabitable since February. The owner has worked on it maybe two weeks out of that entire time. Six weeks ago he left with his windows and doors wide open and hasn't been back until today when he finally came back and shut the door and "mowed" the front lawn. The back is still overgrown. There are years worth of trash in the back of the property. It goes back 364' and there are tires, insulation boards, a toilet, carpeting, misc plastic debris, etc. all over the woods. There are also birds living in the roof (going in and out via the electrical box) and a groundhog going in and out of his crawlspace. Please do something about this! My property is 4' away from his house and I fear homeless people and drugs will be next. I fully anticipate the owner leaving the house in this continually deteriorating condition unless he is forced to remedy the situation.
