14 months ago the structure supporting this part of the building collapsed and fell on my property leaving this quarter of the house being supported by one 4x4 . 7 months ago the same wall started falling apart which is built on the border line. An elderly lady in her 90’s lives in that property. Her son who is married to the borough manager’s relative takes care of her. The building inspector is new, about 2 years, I complained over a dozen times and brought the inspector and the borough manager on numerous occasions to the site, they always have the same answer, “oh, I didn’t know it was that bad”. The house next door similar to this one was sold for 7, 000.00. IMHO the son who lives 4 hours away is maybe waiting for his mother to go to a nursing home so the house can go for taxes since repairing the house will not be worth the cost. My issue is first of all its posing a real danger to myself as it is. Second, it at any moment has the potential to collapse and kill the old lady.I should take it to a higher authority. I’m in a small town in PA “3000 population” any help will be greatly appreciated.View attachment 2058
