A Hobart apartment building where 24 families were left homeless because of poor conditions is going to get a new lease on life, but not by the owner who allowed the poor conditions.
The judgment of $245 was issued against Hobart apartment building owner Joseph Gore for an August violation of Hobart’s ordinance against high grass and weeds, City Attorney Heather McCarthy said in an email. Gore, she said, neither paid the fines nor appeared in City Court over them.
