Why does the city of Bangor allow property to sit around derelict? Seems like we need a more assertive code enforcement officer

Old Town Irving that shut down in 2014 and has been abandoned since, has entered the chat.

Because they have plenty to do already? Dereliction happens.

I'm there daily. There's rules and regulations that I won't even pretend to be an expert on. I do know they can't just swoop in.

Cool ask him about that empty gas station on Garland Street next to the laundromat. I called him about that place. 25 years ago. They don’t work hard at city hall.

I have better things to do than harass city workers. There's probably a reason you never heard back.

Bug? Pester? Why do I think you weren't perfectly polite in that call? I know I just love when the general public tries to tell me how to do mine when they don't have a clue.

Yeah, it went something like this. Hi Bangor code enforcement officer, there’s a falling down building near my house that’s been that way for nearly 20 years. I’m wondering if the city is going to take any action because it doesn’t seem safe.

Since the current CEO didn't work for the city of Bangor 25 years ago, you may want to re-up your inquiry. And be nice. The current one is a super nice guy and would probably be very open and willing to tell you about that property.

Lol He was trained by the last one. Also, since we are it What’s up with the Norbert x dowd buildings and the rabbis place in State street? Both have been rotting in place in downtown Bangor for decades.

Code enforcement in this town is a joke
