Baltimore County Code Inspections and Enforcement

[dreamaastrid]

called me today.

The house next door - until there is visible exterior violations there is nothing they can/will do, since they can NOT legally enter the premise. So we have to wait until the exterior walls of the house are crumbling, windows are broken or wildlife is living in the deserted home before anything can legally be done by the county.

We can however complain if the grass does not get cut and they can legally enforce that.

Do you have a community association group? If so, does it have a lawyer? If so, the community association can sue the legal owner to do something about the property. You might also contact the feds about the building.

If I recall correctly, her husband is the HOA president... Or at least on the board.

Such a shame that until a large bird flies through the window, they can't go in and deal with it.

I am on the board, but only on it, not heading it. Either way, there's not much that we can do about it. Sure, we can sic the lawyers on him, but that's going to cost the entire comunity $$$, and we just spent the month of February raiseing the HOA dues fro $55/q to $90/q, so that we have enough to pay for things like cutting of the grass, and the block party. Having to cough out $500 to try to get his currently drunk ass to address the $60-70K worth of damage...

Well, I ain't holding my breath. However, his soon-to-be ex. wife saw the house last weekend for the first time since she moved out 6 months ago, and she didn't seem happy, as he's supposed to be maintaining it. MEanwhile he now lives in Littlestown, PA.

Tune in tomorrow for the continuing adventures in Fungus House!
