We recently purchased the house next door to 57 Martha Ave. The property is abandoned and is a significant health and safety concern. The backyard is overgrown and there is a pest problem (primarily skunks), the roof holds standing water for weeks after rain (resulting in mosquitoes), and the house generally looks like it may have structural problems. I have talked to two city departments (housing and abandoned buildings) and filed complaints, and they have held hearings and levied fines, but they have told me that's all they can do. I am hoping the city attorney can help me to address this issue.
