City of Troy is occupying the old Tire Warehouse and not maintaining the building or grounds.
This property has many issues besides the obvious busted windows, uncut grass. It's a real eyesore on a block where 7 other properties already sit vacant. All in better shape I might add than the building the city occupies to store city trucks and equipment.
Is this building insured with the city or are they squatting?
Either way they should maintain it if they choose to use it!

If the property/school taxes weren't so high in Troy, we might have more people buying and occupying all these vacant properties.
The city of Troy doesn't have to abide by the code enforcement rules/laws that everyone else has to abide by. They're lucky!
If I owned that building, the city would be taking me to court, forcing me to fix it up.

Troy should not be in the real estate biz for sure.
I see that 14 oakwood ave is in the cities 3rd foreclosure auction. It didn't get any bid in the last 2 auctions... back when all the utilities were still hooked up to the building (they're all disconnected now) and the DPW workers hadn't ripped the entire heating/plumbing system out for scrap metal!
What makes the city think it's going to get a bid NOW?! LOL!
Jiminy crickets!

I am not alleging anything. I saw it with my own 2 eyes. I'd swear on a stack of bibles and my grandmothers grave,
A short-ish slightly overweight guy with a buzz cut & grey hair probably 48-52 years old and his much younger coworker... dark hair, overweight and about 22-25 years old.
Older buzz cut DPW guy driving city truck, opened the city owned building for his equally old friend who was driving a 1990's dark blue ford pick up truck (not a city truck). They proceeded to ruin the stair treads as they dragged the heavy vintage cast iron heating registers down the stairs on a hand truck and then loaded them into the blue ford truck.
Do the DPW workers really think no one is watching them in broad daylight?
I am sure that this is not an uncommon practice.

Dartlady you really need to remove those rose colored glasses that you see life through.
They left the building unlocked. Come over, let yourself in and have a look around. All the damage to the stairs and all the missing plumbing and heating system... that was in fact the short buzz cut grey haired DPW workers doing.
I would swear to it as I saw it with my own 2 eyes.

A couple years ago I watched a thief taking items out of this property through a back window, He was sliding long aluminum ladders out the window.
I called the police and do you know what the dispatch said... ?! He wanted to know how I knew it wasn't the property owner himself taking the items?! How did I know it was a thief!? He basically argued with me while the thief removed the goods.
The dispatch did finally relent and send an officer. The officer arrived about 15 minutes after I phoned and the thief was long gone by then.
That's the reception I got for reporting a real theif stealing real things out of the property. Imagine the response I would have gotten if I called and said... Hi, the DPW workers are removing all the metal out of the city owned building.
How do you know they aren't supposed to be taking the metal?
It's just not worth the hassle and aggrivation calling the police for anything other than a serious issue.
