TypeL&I Review Board Codes
GroundsWe have been away on vacation at our summer home in Bowers beach Delaware and upon returning we received notice File No. CF-2021-096105 regarding a violation notice. It was forwarded from my father's house at 4920 Mulberry St., Phila., Pa 19124 to MY address at 103 Trotter Dr., W., Wilmington, De 19180. My father passed away in January and I have taken possession of the house which I am currently preparing to sell after the necessary repairs are completed. I am raising the funds needed to complete said repairs needed as well as removing any liens on the property. All of the utilities are currently on and my father's cat is still inside the home until I can find someone to adopt him. My siblings who live in the area take turns feeding and changing his litter box. My cousin who lived with my father at the time just moved out on 7/7/2021 was present when the inspector arrived and tried unsuccessfully to explain the situation regarding the neighbor who called in the complaint misunderstanding the status of the house. The window was broken and boarded up after he moved and the house isn't truly vacant nor is it abandoned. The neighbor next door at 4918 Mulberry St didn't know that my cousin had permission to continue picking up his mail until he had permanent residency at another location and confronted him and then reported that the house was vacant and had squatters residing inside. This is absolutely untrue. My appeal is that I didn't receive the notice until 8/20/2021 and I presently have potential buyers waiting on repairs and any liens to be completed as well the caller in question misunderstood the situation about the property and we need adequate time to address these issues. Thank you
