“It’s been kind of peaceful over here,” said Walt Long. “I don’t hear no one running in the backyard.”Walt Long is now at ease after he went months living next to a vacant home on Orrin Street swarming with squatters.Long said it wasn’t unusual to look out his dining room table and catch people climbing into the empty home’s busted out windows.Just days after our story aired, Long started noticing improvement.
When the 19 Troubleshooters returned to the home Monday, workers told us they’re fixing up every room and updating the windows on the outside of the home.As for Long, he still has security measures in place in case any squatters return, but these changes are a big step forward, and he credits the 19 Troubleshooters for getting it done.Copyright 2023 WOIO.
