While residents within the City of Salisbury have been written up for roof replacements on their home, businesses Downtown don't have to do a thing, obviously. Some residents are in low income areas and cannot afford to replace their roof's when the City demands they do so. They also can't afford the fines imposed upon them and ultimately many can lose their home if they don't comply. I guess it's all about who you know, right?

Forget it Joe, that building belongs to an Attorney, George Strott.
Joe, I think you should start a new page that you can keep tabs on of all the places we see in the city that have violations. Keep photos and names of property owners. We should have all your readers send in this info with as much of the info work done as possible. I'll help you if you want. What a shame that people in high places ddon't get the same attention that the poor folks of the city get.
Well George Strott needs to go outside and take a look at his roof and bring it up to standard. Who cares if he is an attorney, he should have to abide by the rules just like everyone else.
Why thanks Joe, my new roof does look great and if the economy ever turns around it will be a great selling point so I can get out of this town. I shouldn't have to worry about the roof for another 25 years.
I better get the trim on my shed painted or I'll get written up for that next. I already have the paint left over from last fall's work order LoL peeling paint. If they keep up I'll be able to get a bundle for this little house!
I will be fair with code and compliance, thank you, they actually did allow me 160 days to get the roof done and I did have to wait for my stimulus check. You know since I was forced to get a new roof I do take a better look around and see things that are very similar to the picture on your post. I see decaying structures that are wide open (no windows or doors) and is an invitation to young kids and prone to collapse. My cousin and I as kids used to rumage old broken down houses looking for old pop bottles or just some that we could collect the deposit and buy some candy.
Check out the house right behind Perdue on RT. 50 Joe, there's a house with almost a foundation under the house and it is completely gutted, open and looks like a good wind could blow it down. The house needs to be fenced in for the safety of the kids in the neighborhood. It's right across the street from the chain link fence entrance on the back side of Perdue. It looks like some of those old slanted barns you've posted.
That dilapidated eyesore theater on Main Street ("Movies 6") is owned by another FOB attorney, I think.
