TYPICALLY, UH, IF THEY ARE NOT OCCUPIED, IT'S EITHER FORWARDED OR RETURNED.
SO WE WE'RE GOING TO ASSUME THE OWNER IS AWARE OF THE VIOLATIONS, WHETHER THEY WERE RESIDE THERE OR NOT, BUT THEY COULD BE RENTERS IN THE PROPERTY.
COULD THEY? AND JUST GIVE THE MAIL TO THE LANDOWNER TO THAT? THAT MAY BE, YEAH.
DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? UH, SO WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE WHAT IS IN THE REAR? IS THAT, WHAT'S THE QUESTION? PRINCIPALLY? YES, MA'AM.
ONCE WE GET FURTHER INTO THE BACKYARD, ANYTHING THAT IS OVERGROWN, BECAUSE SINCE WE HAVEN'T HAD CONTACT WITH THE OWNER, WE'RE HESITANT TO ENTER ONTO A PROPERTY EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO.
I WOULD THINK THAT YOU WOULD GET THE NAME AND ADDRESS FROM THE TAX RECORDS WHERE THE TAXES ARE GOING TO.
SO IF THAT WAS THE SAME AS THE PROPERTY, WELL, YES, BUT WHEN YOU'VE DONE AS MUCH EXPLORING OF THAT AS I CAN, AS I HAVE, YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY SELL A HOUSE OR TURN A HOUSE INTO A RENTAL AND NEVER NOTIFY ANYBODY.
