NOTE #1: The Original house was demolished some time ago, and unknown persons later started new construction on-site, which appears to be an unfinished, and unpermitted residential house. Potential BUYERS are urged to investigate Building Department records to determine that status of that construction. NOTE #2: MLS still [incorrectly] shows an existing structure onsite, which is confusing because the MLS will NOT allow changes to questions that reference numbers of rooms total, bedrooms, bathrooms, entry, and numerous other meaningless questions that are NOT germane nor pertinent to the property as it exists, and might cause confusion to agents and/or Buyers. Unfortunately, the inflexible MLS requires answers to non-existent property features, such as a non-existent house, so please be aware the REQUIRED answers to baseless MLS questions were put-in-place due to MLS LISTING requirements. PLEASE be aware that the remains of an unfinished building project appears to NOT relate to any original structures, and the existing structure might NOT have existing building permits.
