Gerry McCafferty, who works on Springfield's housing policy, said unresolved ownership issues are complicating the Maynard Street property's path forward, according to MassLive. Dina Fein, a former Massachusetts Housing Court judge who began helping nonprofits and municipalities redevelop vacant homes in 2021, described a recurring connection between vacancy, deterioration, and complicated ownership. “There seems to be overlap between vacant, abandoned, deteriorated properties” and homes tied up in probate, informal family ownership, or poorly documented transfers, Fein said, per the same report.
