"The city has only two properties on the chronic offender list — the one on Strasburg Road and another abandoned site, a former Electrohome plant at 152 Shanley St."
Yay Mount Hope! There's no such thing as bad publicity.
In the case of the Electrohome site, I have seen it cleared by what I assume are City contractors a couple of times this winter. But the bizarre result is that it has occasionally been cleared better than its neighbours, and the cost of that clearing is added to a tax bill the current owner will never pay, and will only add to the sale price the City needs to get from a buyer.
