I take my baby for walks around my area, and see houses up for sale. Some of them foreclosed. I wonder, who OWNS the house. I would assume that the BANK does. So then why aren't they responsible for the upkeep of the grounds?
Take for example this one corner house. There is an inground pool in the back yard. How many mosquitos are brewing up the next batch of West Niles virus. Its a nice size property with knee high grass, harboring even more mosquitos, fleas and tics. The garage door is partially open, and one can only wonder what animals are squatting there. The house has been vacant for a couple of years now, and I have never seen it cleaned up.
Since the bank OWNS the house, and is attempting to sell it in this horrendous condition, why shouldn't they be made responsible for the upkeep of the property? If I, as a homeowner allowed my home to become such a disaster, I would be certaintly be fined by the town.
Its time that these banks, mortage companies, be made responsible for the properties they own.
