Allston block remains vacant after 2022 fire; contractor flees when ISD comes for a look at the repairs

The Daily Free Press provides an update on the graffiti-covered eyesore of three storefronts on Brighton Avenue at Quint Avenue, boarded up since a fire in September, 2022.

The Free Press reports the owner of Amelia's Taqueria continues to pay his rent - which has actually gone up $300 since the fire, and when an ISD inspector showed up earlier this year, "the lone individual working on site fled from the inspector when questioned."
