BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Bangor City Council is giving a resident one more chance to salvage his property even though he's had 11 years to do so.

David Brown owns 34 Holland Street in Bangor and hoped to rent it out, but a fire 11 years ago made it uninhabitable. His sister, Judy Judkins says that as a Vietnam veteran, Brown has struggled with serious illnesses that have prevented him from fixing up the home and paying his taxes. Judkins learned of this issue for the first time last week, and says now that she will act as a property manager to help him reconstruct the building.
