I am so happy. I am a neighbor and have watched as the owner, Jimmy Delery, walked away from this property approximately 5 years ago. It has smelled of death. When I walk by with my kids they call it the “stinky forest” for its smell and overgrown sidewalk. I can’t wait to see it not be an eyesore. It should not take 5 years of reports, tv reporters, fines and hearings for a house to come down or be taken away from the owner.
