We mothballed this property.

Within days of losing it to back taxes (PSOS did not have the approximately $5k to pay), Jerry took deed to the property and paid the back taxes.  Jerry is Nicole's dad.  He is currently rehabbing the property.

This house is still standing.

8 Dancy Bungalows

We bought these bungalows for $3000.  We had plans to mothball all of them and try to get the other bungalows donated.

HOWEVER, THERE IS A ROLLING FINE OF 12 MILLION DOLLARS ON THESE PROPERTIES THAT KEEPS ACCUMULATING EVERY DAY.  And the 12 million is attached TO EACH SEPARATE BUNGALOW

Thank you code enforcement.

So, before losing these to back taxes, Hailing (a board members wife), paid the back taxes and gave PSOS $3000 that we paid for them.  And she took the risk of the rolling fines. 

These, quite naturally, are in limbo until something can be done with the ridiculous rolling fine policy.

229 East 2nd Street was on the formal track to demolition before it was donated to PSOS.

That puppy had $15k in back taxes attached to it.  We begged and pleaded to anyone who would listen to take this off of our hands. 

Finally it recently happened.  PSOS sold this property for the cost of the back taxes and the closing costs and now will be rehabbed.  PSOS does not know the owner.

As of this time, PSOS does not own any more properties.

As far as the houses with the hearts on them -- we don't own, we board to keep out mischief and scavengers --

I hope this answers any questions. 

Save the houses.
