Former President Trump falsely claimed that immigrants were eating their neighbors' pets in Springfield, Ohio, but in what HuffPost calls "ironic fate," cats appear to be haunting Trump's childhood home in New York City—with griping neighbors trying to find the residence's MIA current owner. Curbed reports that the faux Tudor at 85-15 Wareham Place in Jamaica, Queens, has become run-down and overrun by between 20 and 30 feral cats, with the investor who scooped up the home via an LLC nowhere in sight.
"The pungent smell in the front yard is now as off-putting as the creaky Gothic metaphor the place has become; the mailbox is stuffed with overdue bills, the doorknob is smashed, and cobwebs have taken over the windows," reads the Curbed description of the abode that Trump lived in with his family until he was 4 years old. Neighbors have complained about everything from a burst pipe in the home that flooded nearby residences, to a power outage at the house that knocked out neighbors' electricity—leading to no AC for any of them for a whole week one hot summer.
Because the owner is all caught up on the property's taxes and a fine levied against it by the city's Department of Buildings, the home can't be seized, so desperate neighbors are now mulling raising enough money to buy the place themselves, then sell it to someone who'll actually care for it. "I want it to be occupied. I want it to have purpose. I want it to have its own history going forward," one neighbor tells Curbed. A Zillow listing that HuffPost says is several years old had the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home going for $1.3 million at the time. (More Donald Trump stories.)
