Wrecking Cincinnati, 5/30/08

3065 Percy Ave, Westwood
Single-family
DOB: 1907
Died: May 2008
Cause of death: A cracked foundation, a failing roof, a crumbling chimney, a deteriorating porch and structural damage caused by water. It was condemned in September 2006 and declared a public nuisance in August 2007. Some remediation was done without getting a stay of demolition, but the quality of the work was poor. Apparently, the California-based owner got tired of it and razed it privately.
