Demolition was averted Monday as the town reviews the case.
“Although attorneys are reviewing the case once again, neighbors have endured this eyesore of a property for 9 years. While we feel terrible for anyone in this situation, the fact remains that the house was foreclosed upon by the bank after failure to make mortgage payments and pay property taxes," a town spokesperson said.
Almazon said she's appealing the foreclosure, but the town says the house is already on the auction blocl. "I think this is taking our home, which is the only home I have. I'm struggling, my health has deteriorated and nobody should go through this," Almazon said. It's not clear how much time Almazon has, but regardless of the delays she doesn't know how to come up with the $500,000 needed to repay the bank.
