Todays NOAH house
This house is located at 136 S Alexander and it is listed as “remediated” by NOAH. Well it does not look remediated, in fact it is owned not by an elderly homeowner, which is called for in the guidelines. It is owned by a negligent property owner who has already had 2 houses collapse.
