Thompson said he noticed the abandoned lot with two decrepit buildings on it a few months ago, then saw the amount of garbage and other waste being dumped on the property grow over the past few weeks. Thompson said the debris seemed to be a mix of construction-site materials and junk left behind by various people using the soccer-field-sized property as a dump for household waste. There were also indications that squatters were on the property, including drug users and thieves.
Thompson saw several makeshift fire pits around the property, and is pretty sure someone is squatting in the mostly intact basement space. He said it is a good thing it’s winter or the whole property would be a fire waiting to happen.
