It seems that city is neglecting its own laws and the homeowners and citizens are taking the blow where it hurts most, in the pocket book.
As per The Raton Code of Ordinances Title Xv; Land Usage, Chapter 151: Building Codes & Regulations states, “that these types of structures fall under defects, which ought to be deemed dangerous buildings.”
This is not being done and property owners are left with dwellings that unfit for habitation and have made areas of Raton vulnerable to criminal activity.
It is the duty of the City to look out for the safety and well being f its citizens and the City of Raton has exhausted all its excuses to make this situation a priority on our shopping list of items that need immediate attention.
I am requesting a citizen run advisory board be implemented to find solutions that are lawful and can be used to correct the problem with vacant or abandon homes in Raton. Thank You.
