So a homeowner is allowed to blur their property on Street View, but the affects cannot be undone[1].

"Once Google blurs an image, the effect is permanent,"

What's not clear to me is if you can put in a request to not have future images blurred (or if a new owner can make this request), or if you can blur images of the property from before you bought it.

Apparently, the current owner of this house bought it in 2013, but Street View has blurred out 2 images from before that. It's possible that the previous owner wanted it blurred, too. Who knows?
