Episode Details

A Detroit neighborhood is reeling from a neglected vacant house that’s become a dangerous eyesore—overgrown weeds, squatters, and even arson. Though the city has been alerted and called the situation “totally unacceptable,” they’re legally powerless since it’s privately owned by a company previously sued for neglecting hundreds of homes. A judge has appointed a property manager, so action is on hold—but neighbors are urged to report issues via the Improve Detroit app. Residents, especially longtime locals hoping for neighborhood revival, are holding their breath while waiting for legal wheels to turn.
