Leaning and it had to be taken down. There was no way if just taking one side down. The slum Lord of the house it was shared with fought city about it being demolished He finally lost and the city demolished it. Now the city added the charges of 2000. To my tax bill I list NY job after 32 years and do not have 2200. To pay the tax bill. Is this legal because the taxes are county and the charges for barn are from the city. If this is the case I will lose my house even if I just pay the property taxes of 200
