So many vacant homes catching fire.Most,if not all have electric,gas and water shut off,so how are they catching fire then? It is unacceptable how the state and especially Paterson city leaves vacant houses,sitting there rotting for years. They are not only an eyesore,they bring property values down. The worst is that they are used by homeless and drug dealers, bringing more crime to the area.I guess they are holding on to these houses, so instead of selling them to us, the residents,they can sell them in packages to the developers.Why aren't you selling to the residents for the cheap prices you give to the developers? The residents pay high taxes in the crap city, yet you cater to outsiders.Don't worry, in the end,all will pay for your corrupt ways.God won't forget or forgive.

  And sometimes the homes next door to the vacant burning homes catch fire, endangering lives and destroying property. That should no longer be allowed. If the vacant home is not occupied within a reasonable amount of time by legal owners or tenants, it should be destroyed.

  because drug addicts use them to sleep in , they fall asleep with candles or little homemade fires for warmth
