@Yi Zhao There are many medicinal marijuana clinics in the MD area. Are your sure it’s illegal?

@Pat L. What a great idea! So apparently everyone in the neighborhood thinks the main code enforcement women is very unhelpful. And she is. One of the head people at the neighborhood meeting who has a relationship with her boss, the Lt. Who has been dealing with the cases against this house. She gave me his name, email, etc and said to CC her when I reached out so they knew I was someone serious about it. I will figure out a strategy to find them in person as their address isn’t listed, but I think they are at the local police department. I will bring something for her and her Lt. boss.
It’s been abandoned for over a year. It’s boarded up, high grass, not fully gutted I don’t think. They boarded it up when squatters tried to stay there. The back patio has broken structures. The house actually looks like it might be decent inside, but who knows.
The people in the area, including a real estate agent in the neighborhood said that it may be going under abatement soon. They want that house brought up to normal. It doesn’t stand out so bad because it’s at the end of the street. But they need it fixed. Lol. It’s 2 acres of land as well and I want to get someone in there and see what’s really going on.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to me.

@Nick Rutkowski Thank you! I will work on this! Now that you said that... One of the people at the neighborhood meeting mentioned that it’s at the end of the street, and they might be flexible with me because the house is such an eyesore. It’s the only one boarded up.

@Eric H. Thank you. I appreciate that. I am trying to see if I should acquire it and what’s wrong. I need to find a way to interpret the code violations.

I have a home that has an absentee owner... it was wholesaled this year... keeps getting code violations...
I could live in this house as my first home and hack. It’s boarded up... still nice with needed rehabbing of course. Built in the 90’s.
I received the code enforcement violations, but I can’t understand it! 😩 Who do I take them to who would know? I want to know what they are? The fines? Cost of repairs? Is it worth it? Thank you.

@Idan Narotzki
That tenant was always me. No dogs, but traveled a lot, 2-3 bedrooms. I loved my space... closet and keeping a private bathroom that my guests didn’t have to share. At my last place, I stayed there 6 years and they didn’t even have to change the carpet when I moved out. I kept my place clean... and didn’t mind having guests or anyone staying because I had space. It’s a person’s preference.... I never felt it was their business.... I had good credit, a stable income, positive rental recommendations forever... I qualified and that was enough.
