From the Detroit Free Press:

"Dan Lijana, a spokesman for Mayor Dave Bing, said the building wasn't suitable for occupancy. He said a notice was issued ordering corrections and requiring that the property be vacated until it is repaired.

The city also issued eight tickets for failing to comply with the violations from the earlier fire."


Remember when tenants were forced to vacate the Lofts on Iron St. owned by Dennis Kellafinos. People had been living in that property for years. Why isn't this happening here? Does the fire marshall force this to happen?



The first two floors are still occupied. The front and back doors are wide open. Electricity is still on in the building. It's had two fires! I'd think the smoke damage and the fact that much of the building is open to the elements would be enough of a health hazard not to mention the rampant drug activity and apparent fire-starters who are using the building.
