Cleveland City Hall has been in housing court for a year trying to wrest control of the building at 2962 S. Moreland Blvd. from the local investor who owns it.
The city labeled the three-story brick walk-up a public nuisance in 2016. Today, the building is boarded up. Several windows are broken, and the yard is overgrown.
Housing Court Administrative Judge W. Moná Scott gave the city the go-ahead in February to bring in a receiver to take possession of the property and clean it up.
Then the building’s owner – a company called Nesvest LLC – proposed an alternative. Nesvest’s lawyer told a housing court magistrate in June that the company had lined up a buyer who would fix up the dilapidated building.
City Hall is open to the idea.
“If the new buyer in fact has the resources to rehab, then we’re all in favor of that,” Law Director Mark Griffin told Signal Cleveland.
