Does anyone care?

Cue music.   Sung to the tune of  "Ghostbusters........" When house falls down in your neighborhood....who you gonna call?.....Code Enforcement Officer!!!!"

These are two notices taped to the front door of 39 8th Avenue.   Don't be fooled by the date.  This is the second notices.  I don't have a picture of the original from months ago.  It was the same notice, just different dates.  It's almost laughable when you read them.  Who are "they" trying to contact at this house?  Do "they" expect someone to answer the door when they knock?  Surely there are records somewhere regarding who owns the property!!!

I was given an e-mail address from The Huntington Patch way back in March 2013.   I typed a quick e-mail and this was the response.  I have yet to delete it from my "saved" folder.

This was the orignal content of my e-mails....

Hello,

   I moved into my Huntington neighborhood in 2008.  This house (see pic) has been in this state prior to that as i have lived in Huntingotn 49 years and would frequently drive by.   It is falling apart and, as hard as it is to believe, getting worse.  You cannot see the back of the house but one of the walls is missing!  

This house should be condemned and knocked down.  There is no possible way to salvage it and make it livable.  Why is the town not doing something about this eyesore?  God onlyl knows if it's a health hazard, too.

This is a notice of some kind posted on the front door with a date of 12/26/2012. Evidently, someone knows this house is delapitated but doing nothing.

Any information would be appreciated.

This is the response i received.....

Attention: Chris Mozer

The town has an active case regarding the property located at 39 8^th Avenue and the property is currently on the town’s blight list.  Since storm Sandy, the property suffered significantly more damage and required an additional inspection from the town’s engineering department. I believe the engineering department recommended  that structures on the property to be demolished. 

If you have any further questions regarding this matter, you may contact the Patricia Flynn in the Town Attorney’s Office at 351-3042.

Regards,

Joseph Rose

Code Enforcement Officer

 My jaw hit the ground when i read the line stating the house had gotten worse since Hurricane Sandy.  Guess Joseph Rose thought that prior to the hurricane that it was livable.  Who has on rose colored glasses and is living in a bubble?   That line may've satisfied someone from out of town but not someone who has driven/walked past it for years.  As stated previously, it's been a dump since at least 2008!

I have since tried contacting Joseph Rose a few days ago for an update but it has gone unanswered. Haven't contacted Patricia Flynn but it seems the next step.    Anyone got her e-mail??
