Sweet Condemnation!!

Well now, one would not expect that having your house condemned would be a good thing. Today is the exception. Turns out yesterday someone, somehow called the police department and consequently the fire department came to the house in Ypsilanti. Cited as a fire hazard are the following;
  1. 9 people living in the house that were not on the lease. Which means there were 11 people living in a 3 bedroom house.
  2. Excessive number of pets and pet excrement.
  3. Uncleanlyness to the level of creating a fire hazard.
  4. Holes in the walls (which the lovely tenants puched through themselves to run cables) with exposed wires.
  5. A room in the basement with no eggress window.(this is not a room, but a cubby hole for the utility box that, yes, someone was sleeping in.)

The Fire Department, who are now on the top of my favorite people list, consequently told everyone that was in the house at the time they inspected to take their pets and whatever they could carry and leave the premises. The house is now padlocked and inaccesible to anyone but Tony and the Fire Department!!

Tony had filed eviction papers expecting it to take months to actually evict them. In the meantime they were having a great time trashing the place even more. It's been a nightmare. Finally it's over. Sweet Condemnation!
