Thank you for contacting the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Division for the City of Richmond. We have received your complaint today regarding the property listed above and we have assigned a Code Enforcement Inspector to review the problem that you reported. The case has been assigned the following case file number: #20020930935. Please provide this number when calling about this issue. Thank you.

Ok, so when was it assigned and what can the city do? What is a reasonable timeline?
It is in horrible shape and is just being left to deteriorate.

Thank you for bringing this concern to the City of Richmond, Department of Planning and Development Review, however, when the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Inspector visited the property, he determined that there are no active code violations found on this property, at that time. However the Inspector will continue to monitor the situation in the future.

So the abandonment of property and allowing it to fall apart along with a potentially dangerous condition in regards to the structural soundness of a part of that property is not a code violation?

There is no way an inspector went to that house and looking at the northwest brick footing and column that support that porch and deemed it structurally sound. Another inspector needs to be sent out to reexamine the structure. Please reopen this issue and re-inspect.

Does anyone see any mortar whatsoever here? The only thing holding this piling together is the weight of the porch and luck. I read the previous person's comment and thought this would give a visual representation to what he or she described so well. If things on the outside are this obvious it makes me cringe to think about the status of the interior and other parts of the house.

Your concerns regarding this property were received and notated by the Division of Property Maintenance Code Enforcement for the City of Richmond. However, you used the heading of "open and Vacant” in error. For this reason we had to close the case you opened in the See Click Fix forum. We do have any open case with regard to the porch and its supports and the case file number is 20020930935. Please use that tracking number when calling for information Thank you.
