Police, fire and rescue vehicles and personnel filled East Sixth Street off Park Avenue late Friday to respond to a fire in a building known to be used by squatters.
I did not see any reports in the newspapers Saturday.
Firefighters tossed numerous items out of the windows Friday night. The building was unsecured Saturday. A young woman came down the front steps just as I arrived and hurried over to Park Avenue.
Toys and household furnishings littered the front lawn Saturday.
The house next door is also unsecured, but was not affected by the fire.
The house that caught fire was boarded at some point, but squatters around Park & Seventh appear to play a cat-and-mouse game with authorities.
The next house east of these two ramshackle buildings is well-kept, as are most other homes on the block and the chiropractor's office just west of the fire scene. What can be done to help the homeless squatters so that these dangerous eyesores can be cleaned up and reclaimed as legitimate housing?
