Actually the vacant house the owner walked away from because he bought with no money down at the height of the market. Crackheads and vagrants had already broken into the place and were probably living in it at night.We cleaned up some trash in the yard and cut down the high weeds if anything we did a service to the bank that's now stuck with this property.
We have dug hundreds of vacant houses over the years without hardly a boo from anyone. We have had the police called on us countless times and most of the time they don't even run us they just tell us to make sure the hole is filled in when we are done.
We have had homeowners show up on us and workmen and more often then not it turns into real permission once we assure them that we will fill everything back in and return the property to its former condition.
A large city like Baltimore has thousands of absentee landlords that never visit their property's and its almost impossible to get current contact information for. We always try to find out who owns a property before we dig it. And honestly if its in foreclosure or bank owned we just dig because you can't get permission from banks.
The real key is to always fill your holes properly and make the place look better then when you arrived.
Privy digging in a major city is very different then digging dumps in wooded areas. It takes a lot of time spent talking to people and research to be able to dig every week.
