Derelict Houses

We’ve got two derelict houses (on one lot) next door. According to our landlord, they are owned by the city. They have some interesting tenants: a flock of pigeons, a family of raccoons and the largest skunk I have ever seen. When that bad boy goes walking past my bedroom window … oof.

We would like to ask the city to raze the buildings and put in community garden space, but I’m really not sure who I should call to get this going. Any ideas?

I just got the agenda for the July 1 Duluth City Council meeting and it has an authorization for $200K to knock down some derelict houses.  You might want to check that list.  Of course I'm watching for salvage opportunities.

Your council member would be the primary contact for these kinds of issues.
