Mystery solved: A woman now knows who demolished her house

Mystery solved: A woman now knows who demolished her house

[ScaredDonut]

"No malicious intent" the fact that they demolished it, realized the mistake and fucked off without telling anyone is malicious. 🤷‍♀

[Roadglide]

You can bet whomever comes to her and tries to buy the property is the very bird behind getting the house torn down. Those mistakes don’t happen without a purpose behind them. If i were her I’d never sell it.

The fact that someone can COMPLETELY demolish your house and the city won't do anything about it is insane and disgusting. That entire city board needs investigating by a 3rd party, there's major corruption going on.

*If you cannot easily SUE someone for "accidentally" demolishing your house, we are truly in a messed up world. I pray she sues and gets more than it was worth* a

[davealmighty]

When you accidently kill someone, it's called "involuntary manslaughter". There is no "malicious intent". Its still against the law. Whoever made the mistake should be charged.

Don't be surprised that when you go to file suit you find that the company no longer exists. They will most likely open up business under a new name.

[noradaniels]

I'm curious as to who gave them authority to even demolish the home. Somebody paid for it. You don't demolish a home with out showing home and property ownership.

[Phalanx]

The law can be so useless sometimes. Clearly someone demolished that house without proper authorization and the police are just like "deal with it yourself, we have speeding tickets to write."

[velvetbees]

To not immediately reimburse her for the home is such an act of cruelty.

[NunyaToo]

"No malicious intent" when someone demolishes your house without your knowledge or permission? Really?!

[jonryan]

What grounds does a Company have to just show up and decide to demolish someone's property without first securing the authorization in paperwork from the actual owner. I used to work for a demolition co. Before we were legally allowed to begin any work, we first had to clarify that the person wanting anything torn down was the rightful person who had say so over the said property. Then we had to obtain permits depending on the zoning or location plus call 811 to give us all clear to make sure we wouldn't disturb any gas, water, or berried power cables. To make a long story short... Someone had other plans and if I were her, I would sue the crap out of this company and furthermore I would not sell the property.

"Next to the Fairgrounds"...sounds like there needed to be some expansion. A lot easier for them to get someone's land than a house. And there was malicious intent if they did it without the proper approval and paperwork, did not admit to their mistake, have never contacted the owner and offered her no compensation.

[ffjsb]

Most places, you have to get a PERMIT to demolish a structure. If they didn't have a permit, it might be criminal then.

The father-in-law of a good friend of mine had a similar thing happen to him. Instead of demolishing an existing house, a contractor built a new house on some property he owned in Myrtle Beach, SC. The contractor built on his empty lot instead of the one down the street about half a mile. After the court case was settled, his father-in-law is now the owner of a new house, completely paid off.

[peterthepeter]

Imagine some company just mistakenly destroyed house of the mayor, governor or some big judge and the justice system claimed there was no malicious intent there.

[tird]

I’ll guarantee that there’s a lot more to that story than is being told. Who paid to have the house demolished?Wrong house? What house was scheduled for demo? Was anyone living there ?

[Mike]

The company demod the house. BUT WHO TOLD AND PAYED THEM TO DO IT, SHOULD BE THE REAL QUESTION.

[oellinas]

“No malicious intent” unreal.. Must have been a real short “investigation”. Seems like they jumped to that conclusion awfully quickly. I’d also have the lawyer look into any potential ties or contracts with the township. This does NOT seem like just a “civil matter”

[kryptofly]

How can you “accidentally” tear down a house? In my state you have to have a lot of paperwork submitted before you can start. I agree with other people on this thread, somebody wants that property, probably cheap, and if I were her, out of spite, never sell. You can’t have anything anymore without someone trying to take it from you. There’s something more going on here….

[nobodynoone]

Maybe it WAS a mistake, but not notifying her when they knew WAS proof of malicious intent. I hope she bankrupts those people, and literally takes their home so they can feel what it's like.
