Condemned Home Faces September Deadline

An elderly homeowner has a few more weeks to show a Worcester housing court judge that he has improved the condition of his home as described by the Board of House or face eviction.

Milford resident David Timpany has until Sept. 2 to clean the junk inside his house and produce a contract for roof repair according to the Milford Daily News.

If Timpany is unable to meet the demands of the court, Worcester Housing Court Judge Diana Horan said on Thursday she would remove him from the deed and place the property is possession of another person.

When Horan asked if Timpany has sought financial assistance with cleaning his home. Senior paralegal Dianne Sandman said he’s received some small grants from the Veteran’s Association but nothing that could cover the cost of the roof repair.

Milford Town Counsel Gerald Moody said that Timpany has stated that the stacks of items in his house are for research, but he has not discussed any such research in court. Moody added that the town has been dealing with the property since 1980.
