Inspectorjoe Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I thought I'd share this gem from yesterday. It kind of took my breath away. This addition is about the same size as the original 1866 brick structure it's tacked onto. I have no idea what the huge amount of unused (and unusable) space on the second floor was intended for. The only finished space is two rooms on the first floor. yes, they are finished and had been in use for several years. I can't believe whoever did this was working from plans. He had to be just making it up as he went along.

John Kogel Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thanks for sharing. [] Can somebody (banker?) actually offer something like that for sale with a clear conscience? I suppose it is just another address they would never set foot in themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's areas around here, mostly in the coastal parishes on the Gulf, that still don't have a code enforcement authority. Houses like that do crop up sometimes and folks buy them out of sheer negligence. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
