Pretty good example of the little recourse older neighborhoods have when faced with trashed,neglected properties. The owner of this abandoned home (4401 Wingate) also owns the property across the street (4325 Wingate), which is a similar eyesore and illegally rented.

I was curious about that since I thought it pretty coincidental that two of the very few properties in our neighborhood that look neglected were right next to each other. Thanks for the info.

It is unfortunate of the situation. They are eyesores and bring down the appearance of the neighborhood as a whole. As much as I love our older neighborhood and dislike HOA's, this is actually an instance where I think an HOA would serve a valuable purpose.

I'm surprised someone can own two properties of that value (and property tax value) and just let them decay like that. Inherited?

Agreed, the lack of maintenance on these properties hurts the whole neighborhood.

The city code represents minimum standards, and staff performed an inspection. Closing this issue in SCF.
