For decades, the community around 165 Stetson Road in Tupper Lake, New York, has lived under the shadow of neglect and disregard exhibited by property owner, John Varden. His property has become a glaring example of what happens when code violations are ignored, and it's the community that bears the brunt of his neglect.

Neighbors have endured countless disturbances and discomfort due to the sorry state of this property and it’s owners actions. Children who should grow up in safe environments have been forced to play near areas that are unsafe and disregarded, and elderly residents, who deserve peace in their golden years, are left to navigate the nuisances created by Varden's failure to maintain his property responsibly. It's more than just an eyesore; it's a safety hazard and a public concern.

According to local property regulations, it's the responsibility of property owners to ensure their premises comply with safety and sanitary codes. However, Varden has continuously disregarded these regulations, contributing to declining neighborhood safety and property values.

We urge the local municipal authorities to take decisive action against John Varden for his persistent violations. Specific actions should be to levy fines appropriate to the number of violations, compel immediate corrective measures to address the safety hazards, and, if necessary, pursue legal actions to enforce compliance.

Holding property owners accountable not only restores community pride but also ensures a safe environment for all residents. It is in the interest of the entire Tupper Lake community that this situation is rectified swiftly.

Let us stand together to demand justice and a safer environment for our community. Sign this petition to bring real change and hold John Varden accountable for his negligence.
