There are building code violations. I wasn't saying it just because the house isn't kept up. It is literally dangerous. I'm not done doing research yet, but I've noted the following after looking at the local code:
Railing on the front porch has fallen off and the steps going up the porch look rotted and broken.
The gutters and downspouts aren't draining properly, as there are visible leaves and sticks clogging them up. Two of the lower parts of the downspouts are actually detached.
There are bags of garbage sitting on one side of the house. Not sure what is in them, but appears to be garbage.
There is an old aluminum boat on a trailer parked partially in a driveway next to the detached garage and partially in the yard.
The grass was in excess of 1 foot until they came and mowed it.
It's not just "bad" maintenance. There are definitely code violations; I just have to make a comprehensive list.
That's why I mentioned the "non-neighborhoods" earlier. There are no subdivisions out here. There are beautiful, upscale properties next to average properties or even properties like this one. It's kind of a hodge podge everywhere out here, and the houses are typically all older. I definitely don't live in a rich area, but it's pretty nice, and this house sticks out like a sore thumb. That's why I'm also amazed no one else has complained.
Did you really move to CT or is your home in Ford Heights?
