Is there any update on this house still vacant for almost 15 years!!!
I am writing in regards to the contract to the community that isn't being performed with my neighbors property at
318 N Montana. I have filed complaints with building / planning / and the city with regards to this property. There
continues to be life safety issues with rodent problems.
It's an eye sore. It's unattractive. People have mentioned people have walked around this property looking to get in
at different times.
The code on your website reads:
According to Article 2. - Nuisances section of the Bozeman Municipal Code, a "Public Nuisance" is generally
defined as a building or structure that is unsafe or a hazard which creates a potential danger to life, property, or
health. It can also include such things as attractive nuisances and buildings or places in such disrepair that other
crimes end up occurring. Unsecured abandoned houses and properties with excessive garbage and/ or vehicles
could fall into this category.
Generally, "public nuisances" in Bozeman are investigated as a part of an overall nuisance property. The code
compliance officers will take an overall look at the condition of the property and evaluate the various "nuisance"
components on the property before making a determination.
Continuing to allow this structure to exist any longer as a nuisance needs to be resolved. Just because it is
boarded up doesn't deem it safe. Has it been inspected on a regular basis? What more disrepair or invitation break
into will it take to make this structure to go away?
