Wrecking Cincinnati, 4/28/10

7416 Paddock Road, Carthage
Retail/warehouse
DOB: 1956
Died: July 2009
Cause of death: Structural damage to both the "Louis the Florist" cement block building and an adjacent wood frame building, broken and missing windows, litter. Homeless people were found living inside the abandoned building.

The buildings were condemned in October 2008, declared a public nuisance in March 2009 and razed privately.

The structures had been lost in foreclosure, and a criminal case was not pursued due to "hazy ownership".
