son woke me up, the house has been vacant awhile, but even though it looks boarded up, you can walk by and hear
people inside, plus the garage is wide open to be used by whoever, of course covered in graffiti etc. It's right next to
J. Burrell Park so....

The house next to it also vacant.

Both should be torn down.

Probably won't be as the ski shop on albany st. that has burned more than once and also is not all boarded up is left
standing. When you walk by there can't tell if its that building or the large brick apt complex that is also vacant and
owned by the city but there is  a heavy musty odor, sickening.

20 houses are listed on Paige St on the foreclosure list of the city of Schenectady website.

337 and 339 are not among those.

L4L the house on the right the tan one is the one that burned today. I can't tell how much damage from my house but
there was alot of smoke. There are city trucks there right now so looks like they will board up again, so that means
people will be back in using it again for whatever    

This from the county website

421500 - City of Schenectady 49.32-5-7  Spahn Catherine 339 Paige St
421500 - City of Schenectady 49.32-5-8  Bianchi David 337 Paige St

Here's the link to the tax/assessment info of the house. http://64.132.212.43/imate/rep.....pe=res&siteNum=1

agree %1000 percent - those two houses will never be occupied, so at best they'll be an eyesore - at worst a source of trouble and a fire hazard.

One of the problems with the demolition is probably asbestos and other health hazards.  That really jacks up the cost of demolition.  If it was just drywall, lumber, and plaster - a lot of them would be torn down already.

That monstrosity at the corner fo Albany and Paige - probbaly cost over $50k to tear it down.

Too bad there isn't a market for scrap asbestos.
It would all be stolen by now.

With any luck they had fire insurance.

If they did have insurance, I'm bet they are being investigated as we speak.

I'm actually surprised that half the foreclosed properties didn't have an insurance fire sale.

The latest tax and assessment data says the property was assessed at $65,500.00 with taxes of $1,631.43

Was the house taken for non -payment of taxes?

leggs9966 sorry this is happening to you. If the court ruled 9 years ago you were not responsible, then the city should
have taken ownership right then and sold it while it still was sellable.  Why am I not surprised that the city just
boarded it up and left it.

Dont know the circumstances of what was happening regarding your ownership of it back then, but hope you realize
on the county site you are still listed as the owner.  

People have been using both vacant houses for various thing, not really surprised that a fire occured. I was walking
past 339 one day on the way to the store and heard someone coughing in the upstairs, scared the heck out of me as
the house "looked" well boarded guess not.

As you are not responsible for the house please let your lawyer know that whoever was in charge of keeping both of
these vacant houses boarded did not. People using both houses for "activities".

Same with Andy's Ski shop, there was a fire last year and the side windows still not boarded.

No one was hurt, but investigators say there was evidence that people had been inside, perhaps involved in illegal
activity. The fire started on the second floor of the house.
