The landlord said he has been having trouble getting in touch with the local man who helps with the property. The landlord said previous tenants weren’t paying rent, which has led to legal issues, but he looks to clean up this house 'soon.' Schwartz then got in contact with the landlord. A city spokesman said police have been to the duplex multiple times, at least twice just this month, but found no one inside or any signs of people staying there. Slota said he has called the police in the past when he saw people inside. Schwartz contacted the City of Niagara Falls, and a city spokesman said the city's hands are just about tied since this is a private property owned by a landlord based in New York City. 'We've called the city, councilmen, the neighbors have tried,' explained Slota. One side of the duplex has a wooden board over the door.

When 7 Problem Solver Michael Schwartz went to Slota's home, he saw many broken windows from the top to bottom, and sheets over windows and doors. 'I have family that come over, and said I should move.Why should I have to move because of this? It should have to move.' 'I have to live next to this, and my way of life is really upsetting,' explained Slota.

Some of the garbage has been cleaned, but empty bottles and cans remain on the lawn. Slota also said the duplex has had garbage piles outside, which has attracted rodents.

'People are sneaking in, sneaking out,' said Slota. He said that tenant is in court, but the home is not empty. 'I worry about fire definitely.'Ī local man who helps the out-of-town landlord told 7 Problem Solvers that tenant who lives on the side closest to Slota's home is in the process of being evicted. 'The place is just a total wreck,' explained Slota, who said he sees people going into the structure. The house that Slota lives next to is a duplex that's almost 100 years old. 'Been a wonderful neighborhood, except we got a few problems,' said Slota, referring to the house next door. He was born in the home across the street from where he and his wife now live, but lately there has been an issue on his block that hits close to his home. (WKBW) - Michael Slota has lived on Cudaback Avenue in Niagara Falls his whole life.
