@ Jason.... Not applicable. Put it this way, my neighbor bought his house NEW, and did not know all the history, We also found out that even though he purchased his house new, it was actually lived in by the city building commissioner (at that time) for a year and a half! There is all kinds of shady stuff we have uncovered.

There are 20+ holes drilled every few feet in the basement floor, and in the garage... There is no dirt touching the bottom of the floors... It is a complete void. We have checked with "mud jackers" , and it is VERY costly, and no guarantee at all. Don't know about you, but I'm not to keen on investing $30K to "bandaid" a problem that is potentially bigger than anybody knows. To top it off, it would have to be disclosed, and if I were looking at buying a home and saw that, I would run fast!

Thank you all for taking a look. We do have legal representation. This has been a VERY long, expensive, and stressful situation for both my wife and I. Myself and others feel that the City is doing nothing but wasting TAXPAYER DOLLARS to fight us, drag this out, and not righting this WRONG they ARE RESPONSIBLE for.... They think by dragging this on, we are going to just give up.... WRONG! We are not going down without a fight!

Dang man, I feel for you in this situation..hope it all works out.

Don't back down, stick to your guns. Everyone knows the government is full of sh*t and will continue to hide from their responsibility. Get your story out on a national level so people can see what is going on. Good luck.

This is your cousin Jason.. Have you considered looking into the real estate agency that sold the house to you without disclosing all the facts.. just wondering ,, probably be better if you answered back via email or facebook ... considering ...

@HOLEunderHOUSE Call mud-jackers in your area. See if they will do the work discounted, as the local news probably mention how a local company steeped up...heck might even do it for free. Worth calling around and meeting with people.

With more thought on the matter, why not call in a mud-jacker to drill holes and pump a slurry to fill in the voids under the home after the plumbing is fixed of course. The home lasted 20 years the first time...probably last another 20 or more with the mud-jacking. And from my research its not that costly, maybe the owner can even do the preep work like drilling holes where they mark them to be drilled. Maybe because this is a news story a company will help out for a free news spot. Good luck.

Stop being nice. Lawyer up.

In this case, I think I would let the bank have it back and make it be THEIR problem. But alas people are worried about credit ratings and what have you. At a certain point paying $1,500 a month is a wast of money. Mayor doe snot THINK its the cities problem till a bunch of people walk away from their homes, and the places can not be resold with this type of coverage without people knowing about it. Abandoned homes end up making the area look like the ghetto...does the Mayor want that to happen

I hope for the best for you and you're wife Ryan.

simple asshole thing to do. order something by truckfreight. 45k lbs on that road will make it the CITY's issue once the whole road is totaled
