Link to August 14 Rockford Register Star article.
Excerpt:
The vacant property at 1636 S. Main St. in Rockford is surrounded by broken glass, while overgrown plants and weeds have taken over the backyard. Wiring in the back of the house is hanging down. Old newspapers and litter are strewn about the yard, and the house’s front siding has been torn off.
The windows and doors have been boarded up for years. Signs are posted: “Private property, no trespassing.” But neighbors say that hasn’t stopped people from tearing off the plywood and squatting.
Suzanne Moore of Beloit, Wis., is hoping to sell the two properties to the south of the boarded-up house, but she’s having no luck.
