Outsiders have been buying up properties for decades. Where the problem is located, is that the city is 100% negligent in how new property owners act, and what should be expected of them. I have a relative, who's NY in laws run a small house rehab company. They do none of the work, but sub contract all the work to small fry contractors. Some of the work they do is fine, but when they hit a snag, the NY end wants to bury the problem.

Still we see the locally owned Commercial Developement Co, is still getting permits for major projects, while its BOTCHED decaying Hendler Creamery job sits for nearly a decade. Why does the city allow them to abandon their incompetence at the Creamer site, and get new permits???
