Judge signs order to demolish Charlevoix Hotel

Typical CoD. Don't enforce ordinances, allow buildings go to rot, and then waste millions to tear down what you could never afford to build today.

That area was dead for decades, now it's on its way back and the building is too far gone.

...Says who?

Sad. Vacancy laws need to be better enforced to prevent these buildings from getting this far in a state of disrepair.

The building could be renovated or mothballed. It's certainly a possibility, but probably extremely expensive.

The time to save it came and went. Just a shame there's now another vacant downtown lot.

No such thing as too far gone.....not including a thermal nuclear explosion.
