Description
There is a dilapidated house in old NE neighborhood that is having construction work done without a permit.
Apparently they are trying to create 3 rental units in a 988 sq ft home, which is less than 333 sq ft per tenant. I don't know how having 3 unrelated persons living in a building that small could be legal.
Contractors show up after hours, on nights and weekends, apparently to avoid detection by city inspectors. The workers drive old beater pickups and look like they are unlicensed contractors and/or illegal aliens (they speak a non-English language). No separate fire exits have been observed.
Rats, racoons, and possums live in or under the house. The house and yard are filthy and the roof has moss, bushes, and small trees growing on it. When the work starts, rats and cockroaches scatter from the house.
This is a dangerous hazard to St Petersburg and our Old NE neighborhood. Please condemn this house and knock it down as soon as possible.

City staff periodically review past SCF reports that are made both from citizens and internally from various departments, and in an effort to clean-up old issues that were resolved some time ago, we are marking as 'closed' those issues that were submitted in the past for which the work has been completed or the issue has otherwise been resolved.
If you think for any reason that the issue you submitted in the past might still be unresolved, please feel free to submit a new report with the SeeClickFix St. Pete website and we will make sure the issue is directed to the appropriate City department to be addressed as soon as possible.
Thank you,
