there is a home on my street that is vacant. It hasn't been lived in since the 80s. It's not abandoned, the owner maintains it fairly well. But neither is it habitable - it's an early 60s home, no ductwork, barely working systems, would need a $500k investment to be livable.
Pretty sure he's one of the 1900 complaints.
I take that to mean 1900 owners are appealing?
That's how I read it.
