Yes, I lived in one until recently and I can't imagine the building is even liveable now. For some reason they were called "The Ivory Lofts" and are at Gratiot and Seyburn near Van Dyke. When I moved in in 1996 most all 11 units were occupied. When I moved out a couple years ago only one. A 5-story bldg. that used to be a warehouse for a moving company. My unit was $450 for 1200 sq. ft, free electric, a gas furnace and plenty of running water, i.e. from the roof, from the frozen & then busted pipes in the winter and from upstairs neighbor's tub. Maintenance was almost non-existent - I did my own. There were break-ins at other units and people keep ripping off the washer/dryer coin boxes. Wood floors and ceiling with no noise insulation. I slept with ear-plugs in for about 10 years.
I stayed as long as I did only because I'd built a great darkroom there. Squatters and fear of the place going up in flames finally pushed me out. So I think this may be one of the worst "run" by Boydell.
