OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - A busy corner in northwest Omaha is looking better tonight several months after 6 On Your Side exposed a pair of dangerous eyesores.
Last November, nearby residents drew issue with two neighboring abandoned houses in the area of 168th and Bedford.
One was torn down by a developer a few weeks later, but the second graffiti-covered house owned by a church group remained standing until now.
After several violation notices, the city hired a demolition contractor. It cost taxpayers more than $23,000 to tear down the house and a large outbuilding located behind it.
The property owner will be billed and if it’s not paid, a lien could be slapped on the corner lot.
