The city of San Jose says a home in the historic Rose Garden neighborhood has become so rundown that it’s a public nuisance. Now, the city has filed a lawsuit in an effort to force the owner to clean it up or tear it down.
Teresa Negron of San Jose told NBC Bay Area Friday that she can’t forget the day nearby schools were put into lockdown after law enforcement confronted a person squatting in the home.
The city of San Jose confirmed to NBC Bay Area Friday that it filed a lawsuit. The city is asking a Santa Clara County judge to order the owner, an Oakland tax attorney, to clean the house up and pay the city thousands of dollars in unpaid fines, related to at least a dozen citations for code violations at the property.
“That would be great. We sent a request to code enforcement, numerous neighbors actually,” Negron said.
