Why would the city auction off a house that has a demolition order on it? They should posted any liens and orders on it while putting it up for sale to the public. They need to give her the money back.
-
Just give her all her money back. It's really that simple.
-
Here's the problem. The city tore down the house but the county sold it. The two didn't communicate and each should repay her.
-
So the city waited two years to demolish the house until someone bought it and then quickly had it torn down while the woman was waiting for her deed. It doesn't get any more wrong than that!
-
The city owes her a house. No excuses
-
At a tax sale she bought it… Whoever did the tax sale should’ve said that the home is slated for demolition. Nobody would’ve paid $57,000 for a small plot of land! The entities that be that dropped the ball on this need to make this right for this woman! This is ridiculous!
-
Vendors not disclosing such vital encumberances during real estate transactions is criminal where I live.
-
If she has legal documents showing she bought the house, she is the owner. She bid it on an auction authorized by the city. The city needs to refund her money. Someone at the county messed up big time and should be held responsible.
-
You have a deed to a house in your name that was torn down with no notice sent to you. Funny thing about deeds, they are guaranteed clean and clear before transfer. This means someone at the city allowed the demolition of a house with a new owner who had not been served any notice. That's getting into federal and constitutional criminal territory.
-
She needs to get a lawyer sue the homeowner, city,and county ,they all knew this house was being demolish. This theft at its worse .
-
If I were her, I wouldn't be looking for a refund... I'd be demanding a new house. A tiny place like that shouldn't cost much to build (especially compared to how much she might be able to win in a lawsuit). They need to admit their mistake, cut their losses, and replace her house.
-
Three months after our first story aired, the county reimbursed Nagaraj her $61,000 .
-
Not a lawyer, that said the house was sold at a sheriff’s auction and the order for destruction should have been made available during the title search. Failing that the sale would comprise fraud if a private seller hadn’t made the order available. Therefore the county should be held accountable.
-
Just when you think the world can’t get any weirder.
-
This city needs to rebuild her house for free. This is absolutely ridiculous.
-
I’m sure she’ll have her choice of lawyers now. I bet her phone is ringing nonstop with attorneys wanting to represent her. Best of luck
-
They need to refund her money asap.
-
A lot of people are saying the county should give her the money back and I agree. I bet anything that before this is over, they will send her a bill for the demo.
-
Excellent coverage!!! This story expresses how a citizen can be overwhelmed by the City, where they live.
-
Whoever sold her this home knew exactly what they were doing and we’re happy to mess her over and I feel like this seems criminal not only civil.
