Code enforcement hits community garden?

[sheclown]

Spent hours today with code enforcement and truth be told, they were great.  Prado and O'Laughlin are really good guys.  Homeowner got crazy with a hammer and removed structural support totally compromising his house.  Not sure if we can save it or not.  It may end up coming down as an emergency if there are not funds to adequately brace it.  At least the back porch area will need to be removed. 

Big freakin' mess.

Walked away with positive feelings for code, though, and that is a good thing.

Thanks Gloria! Great to know that Code Enforcement can be talked to at times. What can we do to save this house?

Well, the homeowner (who has lived in the house for 26 years) will need to do substantial amount of work just to stabilize.  The house is now condemned so a contractor will have to bring the house to a certificate of occupancy.  Additionally there will have to be an electrical safety inspection.
