>205 Lotte Road : Village’s record in dealing with these types of issues is not the best
While I agree that the Village’s record in dealing with these types of issues is not the best, the issue is not as straight forward as one might think. The fact is that they can issue all of the notices and summonses they want and it may not solve the problem. If the owner does not have the money they are not going to do anything. If the owner is bankrupted nothing is going to happen.
My sister lives in another town and there is a house not too far from her in the same condition. The town issued summonses and the owner abandon the house and moved out of state. They can’t sue the owner because she has no assets and they no authority to force her to return to NJ to answer to building code violations.
The bank now owns the house and they will not do anything but list the property for sale. The bank is also located out of state and will not even respond to the town.
I hate to say it but we are going to be seeing more and more of these issues
So what happened with the house between 2011 and now?
Seems it’s in decent condition now and still on the market.
