The City of Tulsa and Tulsa County are joining forces to take down a neighborhood eyesore.

It's an apartment building near 61st and Peoria that's been abandoned since 2009.

Not only has it been racking up code violations, it's also been a nuisance for police and firefighters, who keep getting called there.

In the video above, photojournalist Chris Howell has more on one man's mission to tear it down.

Tulsa County is paying for the demolition. The city's code enforcement division is coordinating it.
