Houston has at least 170 'dangerous' buildings, including run-down apartments, a burned-down restaurant, an old HISD school, and most recently, the building where a firefighter died after a wall collapsed.
Inside an abandoned building on North Main Street, rows of metal racks announcing a clearance sale are gathering dust.
"Since I was younger, it's always been abandoned," Gael Gutiérrez, who lives near the building, said. "I've never seen it operating or anything like that, so it's been like that for a while now." The building isn't just abandoned. 13 Investigates found it's one of more than 170 buildings across the city that are considered dangerous, according to the City of Houston.13 Investigates visited several buildings that city inspectors deemed dangerous and found run-down apartment complexes, a burned-down restaurant, and even an old school that the Houston Independent School District still owns.
