Single-family
DOB: 1895
Died: May 2009
Cause of death: A dangerous front porch, defective chimney, broken and missing windows, missing siding, and cracked and deteriorating steps and walkways. The property had been vacant since at least 2005.
The house was condemned in September 2006, declared a public nuisance in December 2006, and razed by the City following asbestos abatement.
A criminal case was signed, but it appears that nobody could track down the owner of this building – or the owner failed to take responsibility. Ownership was likely lost in the foreclosure shuffle.

Why if it is an "ownership shuffle" can't the city then re-possess the house in order to restart it's viability? It's like shooting a healthy animal when it's unattached from an "owner."
Sometimes I think it would be nice if the City could just "take" a building, but I don't think that's a road we want to go down.
I'd rather the city "take" the building then demolish it. Land bank, people. Cincinnati will need to consolidate around a central core and raze entire neighborhoods, turning them into "urban prairies", ala Detroit, if this policy of demolition continues unchecked.
Very nice real estate stuff I ever seen! Thanks for the info.
