An update has been given to the Danbury City Council about a blighted property the City is looking to buy or take by eminent domain.  The Unified Neighborhood Inspection Team says 89 Wooster Heights is the worst case of blight Danbury has seen in years. 

The property is filled with piles of construction debris, metal, and unregistered vehicles.  UNIT has been assessing fines of $100 per day.  Since cleanup hasn't been done, UNIT has placed a lien on the property, in the amount of $19,400. 

UNIT does not anticipate cleanup in the immediate future, and is exploring other avenues of compliance. The property near Danbury Airport is also the subject of enforcement actions by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. 

The property is within the flight path of the airport and funds from the FAA may be available to purchase and improve the site.
