For over three years, the City of Lancaster has unjustly condemned my property at * Manor Street, using bureaucratic roadblocks and legal manipulation to keep me from restoring my home. Despite complying with abated housing repairs, the city refuses to acknowledge progress, all while forcing me to pay taxes, water, and trash fees for a property they’ve made impossible to use. Unfortunately finding an ethical honest attorney that’s not part of the “good old boys“ network of power and influence is like looking for a needle in a haystack! sadly, I hired two different Philly lawyers who both took my money and failed to act without filing a single legal document on my behalf. Therefore, I have been filing everything on my own. Including multiple motions for recusal of the Judge which were all conveniently.... ignored, delayed, or denied.
I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds frustrating and complex. Here are some steps you can take:
- Appeal the Condemnation: Ensure you've exhausted all appeals. Document all interactions and progress.
- Public Records: Check public records and ensure all compliance work is documented.
- Legal Assistance: Even though you've had bad experiences, consider a local attorney familiar with Lancaster's legal environment.
