What is the current state of the Wurlitzer building?

Unfortunately, it takes a long time for somebody to be found in contempt of a court order and face jail ...

... especially when your wife is a sitting judge!

Just because his wife is a judge shouldn't entitle him to special treatment. Especially when the building is a blatant hazard that will eventually result in someone dying. Not only that but isn't The Wurlitzer Building in a prime location and, were it to be rennovated, greatly improve the image of that part of town? The view from the top of that building is a baseball fans dream. If the owner would just fix that building he would be rewarded with a view of the baseball field for the rest of his life. I think The Wurlitzer building could be put to great use as not just a cool office building but it would also make a great hotel with that view. Isn't one of the reasons Detroit has a hard time attracting conventions and such due to the lack of hotels and places to host such an event? This building would be a prime candidate give its location I would think. It seems like there is much more to gain by rennovating that building than leaving it to rot.
