A few frustrated neighbors and homeless residents have grabbed drills and garbage bags to clean up the decaying Kalispell building previously known as the Outlaw Inn.
The vigilantes have boarded up shattered windows and collected garbage around the property perimeter. Travis, who began tidying up the property around three weeks ago, said he was fed up with the lack of action the city has taken to address the 9-acre property bought by Portland, Oregon-based real estate firm Fortify Holdings in 2022.
Kalispell City Council granted Fortify a conditional use permit in February 2022 to convert the former hotel into multi-family housing with up to 250 studio units.
