People in Moose Jaw, Sask., have had enough abandoned homes.
Some residents have come forward complaining about some of the abandoned homes in the city, saying the properties are drawing in feral animals and dragging property values down.
For Michelle Dodd, the issues started six years ago when she first bought her home down the street from an abandoned house.
She has been reporting the home for different things over the years on the Moose Jaw city app. In 2022, she saw a window was missing from the house.
In October this year, she found a litter of kittens looking out that window.
“I posted it on social media after I had reported it again on the app,” Dodd explained.
“I was just surprised at the outpour of people dealing with abandoned homes and bylaws not being met by the city.”
Dodd said she heard many stories of homes being reported on the city app and quickly being reported back resolved.
