11/08/2005 INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT GGOODMAN Approved PRIOR TO VISITING SITE I CALLED OWNER DUANE AND NORA THACKRAY NOW RESIDING IN GOLDSBORO NC. I INFORMED THE OWNERS ON THEIR VOICEMAIL THAT THE PROPERTY WAS CALLED IN TO OU DEPARTMENT AS A VACANT AND NEGLECTED PROPERTY, UNSECURED AND ASKED THEM HOW THEY WISHED TO PROCEDE. I EXPLAINED DNR'S PROCEDURES IN THESE CASES, EXPLAINED THAT I WOULD BE VISITING THE SITE AND WOULD CALL AGAIN ONCE I GAINED FURTHER INFORMATION. VISITED THE SITE, TOOK PICTURES. I DID FIND STRUCTURE VACANT AND UNSECURED.BUILDING WAS IN A VERY DELAPIDATED STATE. ALL EXTERIOR WINDOWS AND DOORS HAVE BEEN BROKEN OUT. FRONT DOOR HAD BEEN KICKED IN WAS STOOD BACK IN PLACE. REAR SLIDING GLASS DOOR HAS HAD GLASS BROKEN OUTCREATING AN UNSECURED OPENING FROM THE REAR. FOUND NO REAL SIGNS THAT TRANSIENTS HAVE BEEN HOUSING THE STRUCTURE. IT DOES APPEAR HOWEVER THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN AN CAUSED THE DESTRUCTION. THERE IS A METAL STRUCTURE AT THE REAR OF PROPERTY, PERHAPS THE CARPORT AT ONE TIME, BUT HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO HOUSING AND HAS ALSO BEEN LEFT OPEN AND UNSECURED, ALSO LOOKS VANDALIZED. DEAD GRASS ON THE PROPERTY COULD CAUSE CONCERN AS A FIRE HAZARD. SPOKE WITH NEIGHBORS WHO MENTIONED THEY KEEP AN EYE ON THE PROPERTY, WHEN THEY SEE PEOPLE ENTERING THE PROPERTY THEY ASK THEM TO LEAVE. NEIGHBORS MENTIONED THAT PROPERTY WAS VACATED AT LEAST 8 MONTHS AGO. NEIGHBOR AT 726 N BELVEDERE MENTIONED THAT SHE SAW 4 TEENAGE MALES ON THE PROPERTY ON 11-02-05, BOTH OWNERS KNEW THE PROPERTY OWNER LIVED BACK EAST AND WAS HERE RECENTLY TO DETERMINE WHAT TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY. I CALLED INSPECTOR 2 RICK SALDATEEXPLAINED THE SITUATION, INFORMED HIM THAT I LEFT A MESSAGE WITH OWNERS, THAT STRUCTURES WERE VACANT AND UNSECURED AND EXPLAINED THAT ONCE OWNERS WERE CONTACTED, WE COULD GIVE THEM THE OPTION OF HAVING THEM SECURE THE PROPERTY OR THE CITY SECURE IT. RICK FELT IT WAS A GOOD PLAN. I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH OWNERS. CALLED OWNER AGAIN AND MADE CONTACT. MR THACKERAY MENTIONED THAT HOUSE IS PRESENTLY IN ESCROW AND WOULD BE CLOSING ANY DAY, AND WAS UNSURE OF HOW TO GO ABOUT SECURING THE PROPERTY. HE EXPLAINED THAT HIS DOAUGHTER IN CALIFORNIA IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AND ASKED IF I WOULD PLEASE MAKE CONTACT WITH HER. I RECEIVED DIANE THACKERAY'S CONTACT NUMBER (805-684-4942) AND TRIED TO MAKE CONTACT. MADE CONTACT WITH HER HUSBAND MIKE, THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY BUT MENTIONED I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT DIANE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION DUE TO HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SALE OF HER FATHERS PROPERTY.
