The owners of that property have been trying to sell that property since 2008. I showed it a few years ago and, in my opinion, it was way overpriced! These fires are far too common in properties that aren't wanted. That fire at 124-126 Warren Street, Roxbury back in March, in my opinion, was suspect too because the owners of that property started work and then they just abandoned the project for months and then they tried to sell it in an uncompleted state. Insurance fraud, in my opinion, is a definite possibility in both of these fires.
