    What’s the deal with 1604 N. 28th? From these photos, it doesn’t look to be in bad shape.

    And in real life it looked ok, too — maybe even lived in. None of them look terrible.

    There are much worse right around me that I love and keep expecting to see gone one day: 1104 North 20th Street and 1200 North 20th Street

    1211 N 26th also looks like a nice house that can be fixed up pretty easily.

    If the city can just go in and knock down a house, why can’t they just repossess it and sell it for cheap on the condition that it gets fixed up within a specified time period?

    Also, could somebody sue the city for trespassing if they knocked down your house?

  5. posted by neighhbor at May 15, 2008 9:34 am :

    The city is knocking down your house because it is a public safety threat. Gives them the right to take it down.

    But redevelopment isn’t a good enough reason for a taking according to your legislature.

  6. posted by Wowzer at May 15, 2008 10:55 am :

    I would suspect they couldn’t repossess it because it wouldn’t be theirs to repossess.

    I also suspect it isn’t trespassing if it is for public safety. Are firefighters trespassing when they come in your house to put a fire out?

    I am just guessing on both of these.

  7. posted by stephen at May 15, 2008 12:40 pm :

    Next question: Are there guidlines for determining if something is a safety threat?

  8. posted by jc at May 15, 2008 1:44 pm :

    The owner of 3302 E Marshall has applied for a demolition permit (status pending).

    I’ll have to get some pics of some of these. I have pics of others… but it says “maybe.” I remember a list liek this in a 1998 Free Press which had me taking pics of buildings on 24th and 23rd St in Fairmount which are still standing.

    Cadeho… you mentioned a year or so ago about taking photos of every house in Church Hill? Is this for a web site? Book? Or personal use? I was curious about what you took of our house on 27th.
