Northwest Indiana Discussion

I am glad someone is improving Hammond.

Speaking of improvements, JCMT, there are 2 very interesting legal notices in the Times today. One is the city ordered demolition of that house where those 3 children died in the fire back a few months ago.
The next one is quite interesting. The woman who is suing the city and code enforcement for alleged harassment, etc, now has her property on the demo list.

There is a very easy way for Ms. Moreno to stop her building from being torn down. She needs to repair it. Her neighbors have to pick up shingles blown off her roof every week, the gutters have fallen off the west side of the building and the soffit is open to vermin. Blighted buildings lower the property values of everyone else on Gostlin. I'm sure the neighbors will be pleased that this eyesore is being dealt with.

Let's see what the court says.

The court will continue to dismiss her lawsuits. It is a shame that a few irresponsible property owners are allowed to lower the property values of neighbors who take pride in their properties. Gostlin in between Calumet and Hohman has numerous small businesses, two churches and tidy, well maintained homes.

Apparently wire twister failed to address what appears to be a tread of corruption emanating out of a city inspector bringing a roofing contractor with them to look at a building, and later per a home owner getting an offer to do work on her house with a [i][u]guarantee[u][i] to offer code enforcement wouldn't bother her again if he did the roof.

And to included in the offer was a roofing bid of 4 times cheaper than any other licensed contractor.

And as of a few days ago, the litigation against McDermott, the code enforcement officer and several others in the McDermott administration is still active.



But wire twister just seems not to have addressed how 5393 seems to have remodeled what appeared to be a single family home into a multi unit, and then to hurt to insult, still dirt cheap taxes on two building where the improvements seemed not to have been reported to the county.

See Tom's people do things like this for their friends and family.

Putting up a McDermott sign is the only requirement.
