The owner needs to be held responsible for more than just that. He put two business completely out of business for the day. Some of the employees of those business work less than minimum wage because they rely on tips. Sure the city needs to hold the owner accountable but why is it taking this long to realize that?

I used to live by a pretty much abandoned house on dewy ln and people from the city would come and cut the dead grass whats so different about doing it to an abandoned building? And if the answer is "the city does not have time" then why are they taking time out of their day to do it to a house?
