In the spirit of neighborhood blogging...It appears that our local slumlord, Tim O'Shea, is in trouble with the city...again. Back in February I wrote that ol' Tim was in it with the DPD Compliance Division.
In the interim, his properties have been settled by squatters and become happy little crack-houses, one of them burned (inadequately, one might say), they were relieved of all their salvageable metal, and have nearly disappeared into the surrounding vegetation.
Two days ago, that little white sign re-appeared on the door, this time outlining a bunch of things that Timothy J.C. and Elizabeth O'Shea (of 2350 North 59th Street, Seattle, WA 98103, as it says on the public posting) must do in order to meet the minimum standards the City of Seattle requires. While he gets his lazy, crack house-owning act together, he'll pay $150 every day for ten days, then $500 daily until he acts like a responsible adult.
As of right now he's $600 in the hole. That's sixty hours of labor he's thrown away, and there are more than enough able bodies waiting every morning down the street at Lowe's for an opportunity to help Tim set things right with the City and his deeply disappointed neighbors.
I heard hammering this morning, but it was my neighbor, Gloria, working on her house. Tim's compound is quiet.
Meter's running, Tim. Fix your property.
