Several neglected buildings on Boylston Street in Boston’s Back Bay have been left to decay for years, with some marked as structurally unsafe and protected by scaffolding. Despite warnings from the fire department and city inspections, the buildings remain in disrepair, highlighting ongoing challenges in enforcing property maintenance and blight regulations.
