Description
I'm not sure who decided to mark the abandoned unit C in this manner, but it's disgusting. I am going to go remove that wooden door with the next 24 hours if it isn't dealt with. That unit already is killing property value, now this just makes the attached units look awful. Unit B is trying to sell. Can you imagine what potential buyers will think of this?! My home's value is being negatively impacted too. As I said, this wooden door will not survive the weekend if not dealt with by the owner.

Leave the door alone. Removing that door without the owners permission could get you charged with Criminal Mischief or theft. More than likely it will be theft and it will be a Class B misdemeanor since the door is worth more than $50.
I agree that it looks like crap, but we have laws, and you don't want to end up in jail with a record.

It would be one way to figure out who the "owner" actually is. This thing is the definition of @#$% foreclosure. I have a document trail starting from the first person to take out a mortgage to buy (Daniele Gilmore) from the original builder (Goodstar Homes, LLC) and then litany of liens and trustee transfers starting from BNY-Mellon to Bank of America. If you go on HCAD, you see the owner listed as Goodstar Homes, which doesn't even exist as a company any more. Yet someone is keeping up with the property taxes. No one returns calls or inquiries. There is a contractor that comes by occasionally on Fridays to check on it, but that company is a dead end too.
Maybe instead of removing the door, I'm going to paint the plywood a pleasant color, add a few flower pots to the entrance way, and get a nice letter "C" sign from Bering's.

I agree with Alexander. You have no way to make the owner change their door. It is their property. I am guessing they got burglarized, and never replaced the door.
If it bothers you so much, knock on the door and ask them how much it would cost to replace their door. Cheaper than defending yourself on a misdemeanor.

Where is the post? Can you provide a link?
I have a ton of PDFs from the county clerks site, too. Goode and his wife were the builders (Goodstar Home) but are out of business and completely non-responsive. There were past liens from contracters and all sorts of shady dealings stemming from the 2008 bubble burst.
The last active trustee that was paying for upkeep was Bank of America, and of course they were a dead end.
