The owner of this home passed away in 11/2020. The sister of the deceased signed over ownership of the home to the mortgage company in 1/2021. The house has been empty since that date. This is a significant concern to our neighborhood. Our neighborhood was shocked by a drug raid on the home next to the abandoned home ~1 month ago w/ swarms of police w/ guns drawn at 7 in the morning. The police did a great job, but this was terrifying for us all! This home has been another concern since it was essentially converted to a "rooming house". Since the raid, I have noticed unknown persons "checking out" the outside of the abandoned house and looking through the window. There is a maintenance company to cut the lawn, but otherwise this home is a perfect for squatters! Both of these homes are right across the street from where I have lived my whole life. We have a beautiful, diverse, family-centered neighborhood, other than these 2 houses. As a life-long Bostonian, I beg for assistance in resolving this concerning situation. In addition, there are families interested in buying the abandoned home, but apparently due to paperwork processing issues, the house has just been left empty, at risk for deterioration and squatters and not listed for sale. Please feel free to call me at 617-759-5427 w/ any questions. My neighbors said I can speak for them all... they all share my same concerns. please let me know any way I can resolve this issue. |
