Amlaham Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 This building is getting demolished. The city ordered the building to be demolished 6 months ago after the roof collapsed. The city deemed the building as abandoned and insecure. The owner never demo'd it, and when the derecho storm impacted the city a month ago, the building partially fell onto the neighbors' backyards. The building is now being demo'd by the city with the cost coming from tax-payers. The department of neighborhoods will eventually put a lien on the property to get the money back. Honestly, hopefully this landlord losses this property, someone could have gotten hurt and now the city has to clean up this mess when they have other things to worry about. https://abc13.com/post/building-collapsed-yards-demolished-after-13-investigates-history/14940767/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinglyam Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I was glad to see that one is coming down, finally. They won't lose it, though. The city will place a lien on the property for the cost of the demolition, which will come out of the sales. That happened when we bought an empty lot near here. The owners had a city lien for demolishing a burned-out house back in the 90s, which they had to pay off before they could sell it to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 LONG overdue. That roof was collapsed more than 5 years ago. Was easily visible from MetroRail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessicau Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 (edited) I couldn’t find anything written about this. I thought I had seen something before but is there any information about this address? The building was just demolished. It’s right next to Poppa. burger. I think one time it was a nightclub. Edited June 17 by jessicau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need another storage facility like the one that was supposed to go in just up the block at the old Sam's Auto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's an appeals court case on the property https://casetext.com/case/rodarte-v-investeco-group. It looks like the ownership, overall, is a mess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBombadill Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Sad to see this building become so run down due to neglect. The art deco façade could have been so beautiful if restored. The collapse roof was terrifying from the view of the light rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
