A week or two ago, there was a minor fire at 2811 Newton Ave. N. However, there didn't seem to be any injuries, including no injuries to the miserable pit pull which manages to survive, somehow, on the cold front porch. I was in the area so I snapped a picture, but it was freezing and, well, I didn't stick around to get a clearer images. Since it wasn't a major fire, I wasn't even sure it was worth writing about.
Then, tonight, it came to my attention that the property is owned by...oh my word...
...Slumlord Steven Meldahl, who is the human chew toy of the Irving Inquisition blog, click here for an example.
The house at 2811 is actually one of the "nicer" Meldahl properties, though that isn't saying a whole lot. The blinds in the upstairs are all garbled up, and the snow removal is obviously a low priority compared to, well, the joys of pit bull ownership.
Does Meldahl even KNOW there was a fire at this property? Well, if he didn't before...
I'm sure he does now.

$5 says Meldahl collects the insurance money and lets the house just sit there and rot.
Well, the house is still occupied after the fire. Not sure how much damage there was.
You are one cruel inhumane ass.
You're right, it's not worth writing about.
Dupont Deputy says: To II.- apparently you do not read your previous posts on your own blog. Meldahl self insures (according to CPED employee) so there is no insurance to collect! Where can I get the $5???
