Fire Damaged/Murder House
There was a sad, sad situation recently in a neighboring subdivision. Husband/father started a fire on the roof of the house and murdered everyone inside. Now, the house is boarded, except for the upstairs, where rain/weather opened to second floor to the elements. The roof is totally gone now and the second floor is exposed to the elements.
We see this house nearly every day. The subdivision is a newer development w/ new houses still being built for $300K, give or take $10-20K for size/features.
I would imagine the neighbors who live on this cul-de-sac would like to see this house fixed up; the neighbors in the development would want this house repaired for property value/affect on sales.
Who would I talk to about this house? It's still "owned" by the deceased owners according to city tax records. Would the bank take back this house?
