Let me share .


#1 A beautiful home growing up left to decay. It only took 20 years.
Found out an inheritance in dispute between family members.
All siblings except one hold out wanting to sell.

#2 A beautiful home left in decay. Abandoned cars on property.
Found out the owner is a hoarder and it is unfortunate they do not see things
thru the same lenses as others.

#3 N.Y.C.H.A. Housing
Constant state of decay that residents have learned to subconsciously ignore.
The same consideration given cemeteries and local parks.

I was in the area this morning so I drove by. It was easy to spot, a Victorian style house on a hill and the property is overgrown with weeds and vegetation.

Yes, it's very easy to spot. Wonder if it was a person who was a hoarder...

It might not be abandoned and maybe the place just needs some cleanup. I saw it when I was stopped at the light so I didn’t get a closeup look but it was definitely overgrown with vegetation. On the side street I saw what looked like two cars from the 1980s.

Yes, but where is the City at to get that situation under control? Little Neck is a nice upper class area. It is very unsightly to see this.

That's the old double pole dilemma. When utilities replace a pole, they're supposed to transfer everything over ASAP, and then remove the old pole. They rarely do. Sometimes it takes years to transfer everything over, as each utility does its part (or doesn't). Electricity, telephone, and cable.

Non of my business what happens with the house inside or out. I was just curious how the cars ended up in that state. Why were they not sold at some point or whey they were kept outside and why they were not junked when the time came.
The car in saddest state is a Lincoln Mark VII. I had 3 of those in my life time and my very first car was one of those. Hurts to see them that way, that’s all.

Fun cars but that air suspensions was garbage. I think mine was a 1986 had it in 2001-2003. I’m pretty sure that house looked like that in 2014 when I lived in that area.

Air suspension was fine, its when you didnt know how it works things got weird. Very simple system that lasts 10+ years easy. Each spring cost $150 ( back in the day, cheaper now) and took 5 minutes to change up front and a few minutes more out back. IN 84 it was the only air suspension car on the market, first by 6-10 years before anyone else stared offering it. 1987 Lincoln Continental was next with 4 corner Air suspension. IN 1990 Lexus LS400 offered air ride at a big premium. Today every upscale car rides on air, including my s550.

You don’t care about the house? Your thread is titled “creepy house info” and you wrote the following:

Curious if anyone knows the history of the house or the family. I always wondered what happens and how things happen to a house like that.
