On the lookout for unoccupied and unloved houses

Matt Tso Reporter from Community News

Hi everyone, following the fire at a frequent haunt of squatters on Abel Smith St on Tuesday night, one of our reporters is looking derelict former dwellings around the city.

If you know of any in your area please get in touch with senior reporter Damian George: damian.george@stuff.co.nz

The attached pic is of a derelict three-storey Edwardian-era home at 1 Allenby Tce which was damaged in several fire incidents between 2009 and 2014.
