How do I acquire this???

[N/A N/A]

Hey everyone,

Ok there is a duplex in my neighborhood. One half is beautiful (obvuoisly owned seperately) the other half is boarded up.. It has been this way for 5 years. I checked with the village they said it was boarded up because it is inhabitabal, and also that the guy that owns it is a bum that walks around..It is not livable because (the village showed me pictures) this guy has stacked up stuff all the way to the ceiling..Plus his utilities have been shut off due to payment. However the village says they can do nothing about it cause SOMEBODY is paying the taxes and cant evict him...How true can this sound and is there a way I can find out more info on this..The property value in this area has skyrocketed. Should I try public records on the address maybe? HEELLLP! :badwords: :D
