There always is. It will be interesting how this plays out.
I'm sure there is more to the story.
We recently faced a City project, a year old partially burned out, crack-house, which now was going to the court house steps to say, when we receive the demo job, and then the owner next door decides to halt the work to purchase the crack-house from the short term lender in CA all of a sudden, when we had already done all the leg work, and waiting final inspection to demo. What are these people doing!? They had a YEAR to get this property before the City says enough. Of course we were halted...grrrrrr (man, we tried like heck to secure the permits in time when we heard this). Our bill to the City, I just hope they pass that on to the new "crack-head" owners.
Question is if the city offered him money, how can the city attorney say they didn't tear down the wrong house???
An Oklahoma City property owner has sued the city after a crew it hired last year allegedly demolished the wrong building.
Cru Jones says the city intended to demolish the house at 21-23 Southwest Tenth Street in August 2005, but accidentally razed an adjacent building he owns at 21-21 Southwest Tenth.
Jones says the city offered him six-thousand dollars for the building six months after it was demolished. He said the appraised value was about 46-thousand dollars.
Real estate renovation company Totipotent Properties L-L-C is co-owned by Jones and his business partner.
Amanda Carpenter is a city attorney assigned to the case. Carpenter says the city didn't tear down the wrong house.
Jones says the company is seeking between 70-thousand and 80-thousand dollars in costs.
