excess growth and abandoned house
excess growth and abandoned house
Overgrown in front and backyard. House looks abandoned.
Over growth, abandoned house, frig on back porch that is unplugged with food inside.
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.
A mess in general
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.
Trash & debris in back, visible from alley. House has been under renovations for 3-4 years, changed hands, new owners doing same thing: Leaving stuff in pile out back.
still has trash in backyard. has cleaned some of it but not all
