I care about Gene, but now 9 years is a bit much for no roof, and an unhealthy, basement-stuffed house which has been a health issue for his neighbors. He could have sold it by now, made money, paid off mortgage at today's house costs. What's up Gene???

Now after 10 years isn't the CITY GOING TO DO ANYTHING???

AFTER 10 YEARS AND THE CITY HASN'T DONE ANYTHING. COME ON!!!
WHO IS NOT DOING THEIR JOB. It is an eyesore in a block where 3 houses have sold for over a million dollars. This "fix up" house could pay his mortgage with benefits! So why is nothing being done???

So when, after 9 years of nothing, is the CITY GOING TO DO SOMETHING???

SO WHEN, AFTER 9 YEARS, IS THE CITY GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS???

7/2019 still not much change after many years.

Been 6 more years and still nothing. What's up? Junk in front. Neighbors complain. No response. Does someone have a friend in city hall... get an inspector out!!! It is an unsafe, attic-burnt, no-roof building. What is so hard about that. Gene certainly knows this. Is he not a "neighbor"?

can't believe this is still not fixed.
Actually over 10 years now.
Gene promises and then does nothing.
City doesn't care, apparently.
