From Brownstoner:
Ten years ago Sybil Green, who goes by the name Tami, was biking down a stretch of Jackie Robinson Parkway’s residential frontage road, which connects Vermont Street in East New York with Highland Park, when she noticed a house that looked in disrepair, with a door ajar and a bright orange notice pasted on the front.
Green, who was homeless at the time, said she continued to bike past the house to see if anyone was living there and started talking to neighbors, who told her it had been abandoned three years earlier after the death of its longtime owner.
