We have been looking at this for weeks now. Who is the owner of this property???? If a bank owns it, why are they able to neglect it when an owner would not be allowed to do that!?

Apparently a private individual (whom I suspect got it for pennies on the dollar) owns it. I hear that the interior is vandalized, stripped of copper, etc. I am going complain further about this blighted property. From a side window I see that a sliding glass door in the rear is open...for loiterers, criminals, drug use, animals, and who knows what else.
