they probably know about it. Call the building inspector if you think it is dangerous. Call the Health Dept if there is rats etc. Check the tax rolls to see who owns the property - you can do that on the internet.

Call Gravis, have a beer or 14 and talk about it.

I thought there was a program where abandoned houses are actually "control" burned (with the owner/county's consent) as practice exercises for the fire departments.

Can we have Gravis run in one? We will tell him a cat needs rescuing...

Blight Abatement 703-246-5179

or Zoning Enforcement 703-324-1300

They'll either open a new case or tell you the status of a current case.

This sounds interesting! Where is the house located? My mates and I are dying for some good urban exploration.
