Wrecking Cincinnati: 7 Glencoe Pl

NEIGHBORHOOD: Mount Auburn
YEAR BUILT: 1875
USE: Multi-family dwelling
OWNER: Leroy Glen Investment LLC (Eagle Realty Group)
ASSESSED VALUE: $54,630
ORDERS: October 2007, ordered vacated and barricaded due to trespassing, missing windows, and a lack of utilities.
CONDEMNED: March 2010, adding water damage, gutters and downspouts, weeds and litter. Owned by Dorian Development, which made no attempt to purchase a Vacant Building Maintenance License (VBML) and was depending on City support for a redevelopment project, which never came. Eventually, all attempts to clean up the property, keep it barricaded, and abate graffiti were abandoned. In July 2011, the City spent $1,525.46 barricading the building. Following the building's acquisition by Eagle Realty Group in November 2011, condemnation orders were reissued. The company petitioned the City to block off traffic into and out of the complex to cut down on illegal dumping and vandalism, and soon began cleaning up the site.
HAZARD: --
REASON RAZED: Demolished by Eagle Realty Group for future redevelopment as workforce housing. The building was part of the Glencoe-Auburn Hotel and Glencoe-Auburn Place Row Houses, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in December 2003.
