PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh man is looking for answers two months after his newly bought house was condemned for safety reasons.
Ed Ferrell bought the house on Semicir Street in Perry North in December.

It was condemned two weeks later after the hillside started to slide.
"I just want a good outcome because I promised my son a house for us," he said. "I bought this house for us and everything just went down the drain in two weeks."
The house next door collapsed two weeks ago, after being condemned last February,
"I'm basically feeling like mine is next. I go to check on it every few days when I get the mail and I look at the side where the damage is on the house and I try to look at the foundation," Ferrell told Channel 11's Aaron Martin.
Ferrell believes his house will likely be next. He has set up a GoFundMe to help cover legal fees.
