Description
rusted fire escape anchored into rotting wood siding. This entire building looks like it's in the beginning stages of major blight and decay.

LCI,
Can you look into this.
I have been noticing the degrading of this property for a while now also. It seems like good people live in the building but they might need some assistance.
Is there assistance for struggling home owners with homes that have life threatening conditions?

"absentee landlords, Kojo and Helen Gyamfi, defaulted on the house’s mortgage in 2007. The bank sent a note. According to legal documents, they failed and neglected to pay the default. Another note was sent in February.
Saturday, five months later the house was being auctioned off, with the Gyamfis nowhere to be found."

No, neither issue has been resolved. I say neither because a photo of the fire escape at #28 or #30 Nash was posted on a complaint about #17 Nash. All 3 places are very much open issues.
Here's the rundown: #28 and #17 Nash are both currently owned by a person who has been written up in the Advocate several times due to the way she manges her properties. #30 was also owned by this person. She defaulted on #30.
Her m.o. seems to be to do a very poor exterior repair job, then slap some paint on the exterior. Inside, its another matter: she ignores her tenant pleas to remedy vermin infestations, horribly clogged drains, etc and she does not properly repair her roofs. The good tenants usually leave.
Vacated or neglected conditions then continue to send buildings into a downward spiral and then tenant destruction accelerates the decline. In the case of #17, a family of 11 was jammed into less than 1000 SF. Huge streaks of mold stain the walls of a small bedroom where 5 little boys were sleeping. The mold led to some very ill children and eventually the condemnation of the first floor. Then when they left, the doors to the house were ;eft wide open and the pipes to the 2nd floor burst. The 2nd floor has now been or will soon be condemned to cite just one example of the dynamic....
I do not have the time nor energy to report all that I see and dare not report all that I suspect. Will my neighbors please join in keeping an eye on things, at least until a certain person with a scary record stops squatting at #17 and/or living at # 28.
PS
Please delete my posting from earlier today as this (almost) duplicate corrects typos that "misspeak". I promise to let you know when the situations are remedied.

Hi NeighborMT,
Thanks for the update, although it's unfortunate that it's not a more positive one. I went ahead and deleted your previous comment as requested. We will definitely make sure that this issue remains open until it is resolved. Please keep us posted!

Thank you very much for taking care of of thisng. As you can see, todays events were more positive. I hope neighbors will join in watching the house against tresspassers and vandals until the day that it is safely lived in once again.
