HAZARD: March 2010, adding missing siding and excessive rubbish.
CONDEMNED: October 2009, adding a rotting porch, damaged egress stairs, and a lack of protective paint.
ORDERS: March 2009, ordered vacated and barricaded for cornice and windows and lack of utilities. Water service had been shut off since 1998.
