Three issues of blight in Danbury are being addressed by the Unified Neighborhood Inspection Team, including a vacant property across from West Conn. 

In a report to the City Council this month, UNIT officials said the former Wendy's and other subsequent restaurants on White Street, has been used as a dumping ground.  UNIT sent out an order, but it was returned to the Department.  The property owner lives out of state and UNIT plans to follow up. 

Another long-vacant property on the City's west side has gotten worse.  20 Old Ridgebury Road is not secured, unsafe inside, and graffiti has been painted outside.  The City's Building Department has sent a notice to the property owner of the unsafe structural conditions.  UNIT sent an order for the graffiti to be cleaned up.

29 Ball Pond Road has been vacant and has gone uncared for after the property owner passed away a couple of years ago.  While the house is secure, the garage or barn is not and UNIT officials say homeless people have been squatting there.  A notice was sent to the estate to have the property cleaned up and secured.  The property has now been mowed, and the bank has put it on the market.
