Tim O'Shea is an absentee slumlord!
Timothy J.C. O'Shea, who's name appears in this public posting tacked to one of his properties, is the worst kind of absentee speculator slumlord. He has bought up most of a city block in our neighborhood for the intended purpose of building homes. What he's really done is ignore the properties and let them sit empty. Well, not empty, actually; there's a brisk crack cocaine trade going, so at least the houses get some attention. One burned, but not nearly enough. Another (formerly rented by our friends) was looted for scrap metal.
It's a disgrace. Tim O'Shea is a disgrace and an embarrassment. We live here while he presides over a drug-infested bunch of squalid squatters' shacks. Tim talks a good game, but doesn't have the goods to follow though.
Shame, Tim, shame.
Build it or sell it.
