[http://www.wgrz.com/news/news\_article.aspx?storyid=42458](http://www.wgrz.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=42458) Cliffs: House hit by lightning during the big storm, burned down. 3 days later Buffalo demolishes the house, and doesn’t even notify the family first. Family hit with a $40000 demolition bill because the city didn’t know if there was asbestos in the house or not (would have been $8000 if they knew there wasn’t). The house was only worth about $60000 to start with. ---

> [@Xander](#): > > Home owners Insurance? > > X… Yeah, but if you have a house valued at 60k, plus what ever for the posessions, will homeowners pick up the rediculous 40k for demolition, when it should have cost 8k? ---

A similar thing happened to the historic Leland House here in Springville. I believe the owner sued the town/village/whatever. ---

> [@evolve](#): > > i heard that was deemed arson Ahhh, I never heard the end of that saga. I think he sued because they did an “emergency” demo without his consent though. ---

Florida\>Ny They pulled the same shit on one of the properties my Dad used to own down on the east side. It was a rental property which had been vacant for I believe 4 weeks and he would only go there once a week just to mow the lawn, well someone started a fire on the porch. Resulting in half of the porch being burned down, the city came and demolished the whole house without his consent. Which then left him with a mortage(a very small one which regardeless is still bullshit) he had to pay for a house which he could no longer rent out.
