Tampa Is Sustaining the Nuisance

John here.

As we have pointed out, at length, Tampa has failed to abate the nuisance at 6003 N. Otis. Indeed, Code nonEnforcement refuses to abate the nuisance.

As a further outrage, Tampa and the County are enabling the nuisance: Alverson is delinquent on the 2009 property taxes: $725.11. He is delinquent on the 2010 property taxes: $732.93.

They shut off the water for failure to pay the bill: $504.45.

Then the tenant/visitor/who-knows-what, Jessica, paid to have it reconnected. She now has failed to pay for two months.

These folks manage to pay for cell phones, cigarettes, FIOS, five dogs, and a ferret. Tampa lets its taxpayers pay for the property taxes and water bills. The result is a menace to the health and property values of the neighborhood.

What a deal.
