Frequent fixBuffalo readers have been following my mini series - Tale of Two Cities - June 4, 2005 • July 27, 2005 • February 2, 2006 • February 13, 2006 • October 11, 2006 - where I've been keeping track of developments at 198 Glenwood and 60 Brantford and comparing how burn-outs are handled in the Elmwood Village and the City's East side.

Took these two photos on Saturday afternoon. Remember the fire at 198 Glenwood occurred more than five years ago and the property is owned by the City of Buffalo. Elmwood denizens will recall that 60 Brantford partially burned on Friday May 13, 2005 and was promptly demolished and is being developed by Johnson & Sons. Here's the - map - showing the proximity of both properties to Buffalo Public schools.

Gabe,
So we do live in two cities.
I mean is code compliance and enforcement dependent on tax revenue collected in various neighborhoods?
It's all pretty arbitrary.
As far as enforcement is concerned, I'm thinking "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" scenario is applicable here.
