CA Mummified body found in San Francisco hoarder's house

[newone]

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand. Thanks

House was in foreclosure. ((Mother owned the house?)) Yet daughter still collecting rent possibly from tenant.

Am thinking that deceased mother may have had ongoing monthly pension deposits too that daughter may have accessed.

I believe the 65 yr old was ''motivated'' (aka driven) by greed ((MOO))

the guy in that pic is dumpster diving.....moo

sad story though

Actually the dumpster diver is this guy:

"In August 2010, San Francisco Supervisor Eric Mar decided that city intervention was needed to help him raise his daughter.

As Mar later told reporters, he was shocked to discover a trove of toys from McDonald's Happy Meals stashed in her room. Mar was the one taking his daughter to McDonald's and buying the food — but he said that the "pester power" of a preteen was simply too much for him to withstand on his own. So he proposed that the city ban restaurants from including toys with meals of more than 600 calories that lack agreed-upon amounts of fruits and vegetables.

Mar's "Healthy Meal Incentive Ordinance" subsequently passed in November by an 8-3 vote in the Board of Supervisors — a veto-proof majority. Barring legal action, the Happy Meal as we know it will be verboten in San Francisco come Dec. 1. Eric Mar's daughter has been saved."

Cannot stand him. He's probably looking for illicit McDonald's Happy Meal toys.

Thank you. Got it and you are likely on to something as money talks and all.

I kept thinking the house was quite lovely, and in a desirable neighborhood.

Weird that neighbors weren't nosier. I have lived in less tony neighborhoods and received grief over growing herbs and veggies in our yard rather than ornamentals.

Poor old lady.

I would think renting an inlaw suite could be a bit pricey in an old Victorian -- would provide a recluse with some lucrative rent wouldn't it?

The total house is only 1130 sq ft, I don't know where the in-law unit is. I found the parents at the same address in a 1961 directory, father owned or worked at a barbershop. SF has rent control, tenant, if even paying rent, could have been paying very little in today's market.

I don't think it's about greed.

The daughter is 65 years old. I read that mother died about 7 years ago, father died in 2000. Looks like it's a tax lien foreclosure. And since the house was bought years ago, under prop 13, taxes were under $2500/yr. So multiple year taxes, penalties, interest would need to be paid.

It's in a good area. Zillow estimates the 2-ba home at over $2 million. According to Trulia average list price for the area is $1.725 million. I hope after cleaning etc, the daughter gets what is due to her.

....totally missed your post until now!!

I truly hope there will be some sort of leniency and the daughter does get the 'benefit' of doubt as to her reasons for not catching up on the taxes.

hopefully there is a way to ''play catch up'' with the taxes !

This is a bit odd but very illuminating:

The daughter lived upstairs and the elderly mother lived in the lower portion of the house where the bottles of urine etc were found.

Only after someone had put a notice on the door re house going up for auction, did the 65 yr old consult an attorney who in turn alerted authorities to conditions at the house.

''The daughter residing upstairs reviewed this notice, and “sought the help of an attorney, who alerted police about the conditions of the home.”

Missed this back in 2015. Hoarder house with mummified body (well, not with the body) was initially listed for $928k, first bid came in a $1.029 million, and sold for $1.56 million. I hope the daughter got the money. Parents bought house for around $10k in 1954. New owners will likely rehab it and flip it, and could get $2.5 million.

The disaster was discovered in Apr 2015, house put on market in Jun 2015, and sold in Sep 2015. T

Previous articles said the daughter lived upstairs, I think that may have been the attic. Some pictures of interior of house after cleanup.

Several brave real estate speculators wanted to see the attic even though it was only accessible through a rectangular opening in the ceiling of one of the closets. Fortunately for the safety of all concerned, the home stagers employed by Zephyr Real Estate didn't leave a stepladder behind.

A fresh coat of paint on the walls and scrubbed floors couldn't quite chase away the smell of toxic mold and urine from the corners of the bedroom and kitchen. In the bedroom, a large square about the size of a bed was cut away from the top floor, revealing boards even more worn and ancient underneath. Bower claimed not to know why the floor had been removed, but we could all take a wild guess.
