| | | Is It Worth It? (Need Advice) < on 3/4/2018 2:52 AM > | Reply with Quote
| | | Hey everyone, I wasn't sure where to post this so I assumed that the 'Rookie Forum' would be the best place to post it under. So there is this abandoned house I want to check out nearby where I live and I want to explore it before they knock it down. However I am contemplating if it would be worth it for a number of reasons. 1. It is boarded up and I think there is only one entrance/exit. 2. The police station is literally a 30 second drive up the road from it and if someone were to call them, I don't want to be stuck inside when they arrive. 3. This is probably just my paranoia getting to me but I walked past it one day and the people clearing old furniture out of it were wearing respirators. Now that could mean either there is/was something extremely toxic inside the house, or it is just regulations for that kind of job. I do not own a respirator at this time. 4. There are houses next door on both sides and across from it and there is a park down the road so there is the occasional car going up and down the road. I am just getting back into urban exploration after not doing it for a few years. I would love to check this place out and get some photos of it but due to the risks involved, I am willing to pass this one up. Thank you for reading and I appreciate your feedback.

| | | Depending on the traffic and whether the point of entry is visible from the street, an exploration across the street from a police station can be feasible. I've climbed a crane that was across the street from a police station myself. Granted, that was at 1 AM, so not a whole lot of traffic or police were present. If they were wearing respirators but weren't tearing up the house, then I'd put money on the house being infested with black mold. Asbestos is only dangerous if you disturb it, while black mold can screw up your lungs just by being in the same room. If this were a mansion or big, old house, I'd say it might be worth the risk, but if it's just a standard residence, I'd pass unless you can get permission.

| Hi Aran, Thanks for checking this topic out and for your advice. It is a small two-story house. The police station is up the road and around the corner, so they can get down there pretty quick. The entrance is down some steps in the front yard so it is in plain view of the street/neighbors.
