Logic Prevails, Pissed off my neighbor.

[brutal]

he planted trees along a utility easement?!?!

If so, call the utilities and express concern for loss of service if a tree should fall over or damage a line in growing...

Next door neighbor to the east, all our lots back into open space to the south. The trees are on his side of the property line, mid point along the fence and 60' from the utilities.

I have an easement in each rear corner of my lot, one is an IREA electrical box, in the other corner are the Qwest and Comcast pedestals. He just about buried the pedestals and they were always wet due to poor drainage. Qwest has, to my knowledge, abandoned their pedestal as there are no lines coming out of it and they've left it open and rotting, but I still get Comcast internets from the other. Both the other (west) neighbor and I built retaining walls around the IREA easement and I provided stepped access from my property and there is rear access from the open space in the back.

Must be serious about moving, listing has been posted. 198k.

No photos yet, creative writing of the listing. Should be interesting to see what happens.

Oh, and still listed with the County as a 'Multi' unit. Does it matter when selling/buying and the title company? (especially with no permits on file for the conversion)?

Yep, it matters a lot. Not a bright thing to do.

I will move in and we can reload together. Problem solved.

Come on over. Plenty of land for the kids to play on, school across the street. You know where I live.

The owner just had a plumber there for the last 8-10 hours, looks like a total remake of the dual water heaters or something. If they ever have an open house, I'll check it all out. Plenty of people looking at the property though. Hope it sells high!

It will mater to the lender, title company wont care, buyer may not even care, but the lender will

UPDATE:

For anyone that was following this.

Third Party company eventually purchased this "Duplex" gone awry.

Took them a while to get started on the property. Fixed up one kitchen, removed the other kitchen, now it's a room. Did some painting outside.

Been sitting for a month or so now, weeds are growing and growing.

Now there are permits in the window; Electrical upgrades, for re-certification as a single family residence.

This should be interesting, as the property needs a significant upgrade on the service. Permit shows $1800.

Then I wonder if they can call it a single family home without bringing all pieces up to code? Full electrical throughout, plumbing, structure, smoke alarms, etc.


I've only seen the previous owner once when he stopped by to check the mailbox. Otherwise, he moved and hasn't even been back into the neighborhood. Supposedly he's living in an apartment and has asked another lady in the area about the upgrades she did to her house. Apparently the previous owner cannot find anything within their budget that meets their "Wants" vs needs.

I still haven't seen a price sold on the county's website.
