Re: packrat conditions
Thanks, Conarb.
Carlin has long been one of my gurus.
I tried to condemn such a house once, but made a procedural mistep and had to let it go.
Was called as a 3rd party on another such, and I unloaded on the occupant, told the AHJ that conditions I found could only be described as "squalid".
Yet again was called to assess, along with a state DFACS officer, a housing code official, and a county marshal, conditions at a "dwelling" where the heir apparent, who was a street person, would camp out.
He would be sent by courts to homelwss facilities, from which he would "escape" to this former dwelling in which he had been raised, by long dead parents, whose portraits still hung on walls over mounds of detritus.
I could not apply my services to his favor, as field tech man for CDBG money, and at some later point the house caught fire and was a total loss.
