After researching the property a letter to the homeowner as well as the mortgage holder will be sent out letting them know we will be getting bids for demo if they refuse to demo it themselves.

I spoke to the preservation company about this and they stated they would contact the mortgage company to see if the property has gone through the foreclosure process yet and then e-mail with their decision on demolition. If I do not here back in a week the City will request bids for demo ourselves.

A building contractor has responded and plans are to demo.
Thanks
