What To Expect from a Dangerous Building in Riverside Terrace ...

After waging a year-long ?all out war? against this abandoned house near the corner of Prospect and Live Oak in Riverside Terrace, a Swamplot reader declares ?I feel like I won.? How? ?The house went up for sale this past week, exactly two weeks after a yellow ?Dangerous Building? violation was nailed to the tree out front by the city (following one of several of my complaints to the city?s Neighborhood Protection office ? previous complaints generated violations notices for weeds and trash).? The listing for 2536 Prospect features photos of the home?s foreboding exterior with clear warnings from the listing agent: ?Dangerous Building ? No access!? and ?Do NOT Enter!? This hoped-to-be-vacant lot could soon house your dream home! Once it?s bought and the house gets torn down, that is.

* * *

But in the meantime, our tipster wonders, what else hath all these complaints wrought? At least concerns that ? now that the home is in a new category ? the owner might be cut more slack by the city. ?My question is:?Now that the house is listed as a ?Dangerous Building,? can the current owner shuck responsibility for correcting the conditions? What liabilities is the new owner purchasing when buying a building that already has been certified as such by the city??
