“We’ve exhausted our options, fines are running, there are liens on the property, and there was a homestead exemption on this property, which prevents the county from taking further action,” said Orange County Code Enforcement manager Jason Reynolds.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant in April, when drugs, a stolen gun, and half a dozen people were found inside.
Young was murdered in August.
