Edith, an elderly widow living with four grandchildren, hired a contractor to make significant home repairs to her residence of over 30 years. The work was paid for with a high-interest mortgage on the property. The contractor received $30,000 from Edith but left before the work was completed. As a result, the City found that the house was unsafe. LSGMI worked with various City agencies to have the home torn down and replaced at no cost to Edith.
