the building department red-tagged the structure
You think you have bad luck? This poor fellow inherited a home from his father, who did not keep insurance up to date. So the house was not protected, and was in a bad part of town. Then, of course, a drunk driver lost control of her car and knocked out the garage wall. Then the building department red-tagged the structure, and they are threatening to sue the fellow unless he spends the $30,000 necessary for the repairs. Shoot, this guy could write a real blues song….
