Derelict Houses
We’ve got two derelict houses (on one lot) next door. According to our landlord, they are owned by the city. They have some interesting tenants: a flock of pigeons, a family of raccoons and the largest skunk I have ever seen. When that bad boy goes walking past my bedroom window … oof.
We would like to ask the city to raze the buildings and put in community garden space, but I’m really not sure who I should call to get this going. Any ideas?
I just got the agenda for the July 1 Duluth City Council meeting and it has an authorization for $200K to knock down some derelict houses. You might want to check that list. Of course I’m watching for salvage opportunities.
How do I find that list?
Resolution 13-0355
Your council member would be the primary contact for these kinds of issues.
