In neglecting the properties, DHCD engendered Jackson's squatting. In its neglect, the city effectively "bought" Jackson the house he was occupying unlawfully.

Huh? How does that work?

Has anybody ruled that Jackson is in adverse possesion of 2228 MLK Ave?

I feel like this story is missing a second half or something? You just gave us a lot of information, and didn't form any sort of thesis or conclusion from it (or, you did, but it was never really explained). How was the house bought for Jackson? Is the city going to step in, and help him obtain a safe and proper residence, or is he simply going to be thrown back out onto the street?
