This house at 5928 Pershing is owned by HUD and has been vacant for more than a year. Someone is using the yard for a dump and vandals use the house as a base of operations.
Six months ago the 5900 block unit wrote a letter to HUD asking that they repair the building and sell it. The only action HUD took was to take the boards off the windows and tear down the crumbling garage.
To the knowledge of area residents, the house is not even listed by HUD as for sale. The house needs extensive repairs but HUD is making no effort to do them. Inspectors for the city ran into a blank wall when they sent reports listing extensive violations of the housing code to HUD.
A HUD official told them that the agency was not subject to city ordinances.
How can a federal agency which is supposed to be developing good housing for the city let a property go like this? Private owners are not allowed — so why is it that the federal government considers itself exempt?
