Buying from the city?
I found a house during one of my driving for dollars rides that has 2 documents attached to the door. The first one says "Not fit for human habitation" The second document says "Order to Demolish".
This house is in a nice neighborhood and structurally sound. The neighbor across the street says that the owner must pay to have it demolished. Since both the front door and basement door were wide open I looked inside to find a house with trash piled 3 feet high everywhere and evidence of dogs. When I looked in the basement I could see all the joists and everything looked sound.
I am well aware of what I could find in the house and what it would cost to remove all the trash and gut it. I did that kind of work in 2009-2010 in dozens of foreclosed homes.
Outside of calling the number to the department of the city responsible I don't know what else to do.
Any Ideas?
