Residents of a neighborhood in northeast Houston said two abandoned properties on the same street have been eyesores for years, and calls for their cleanup and demolition haven’t gotten far.
“Nothing has been done. I’ve been contacting the city to try to get some help,” said Lisa Walton, who lives on Allwood Street near Tidwell Road and the Eastex Freeway.
The property located in the 8900 block is overgrown with brush. It also has substantial structural damage. Walton said rodents have proven a problem, as well. A second property up the street from Walton has been abandoned, as well. Fire gutted the home on Allwood’s 9300 block, but its burned-out shell remains an eyesore with an owner nowhere in sight.“This house caught fire about three to five years ago and it’s just been sitting here,” she said, adding she’s also contacted the city about its condition multiple times.
In a statement to KPRC2, a spokesperson for the City of Houston’s Department of Neighborhoods said the burned-out house on the 9300 block of Allwood “is being processed for a hearing,” wrote Evangelina Vigil, public information officer, department of neighborhoods.
