EyeSore of the Week: 2217 S Pennsylvania Ave

Posted

2217 S Pennsylvania Ave.,

Lansing

This 478 square-feet, two-bed, one-bath home off Pennsylvania Avenue has been red-tagged by the city since November 2023. The owner, Grand Rapids-based BC Investing LLC, bought it from Kurt Boegner in July 2021. They also acquired 24 other properties in Lansing that same year, according to Ingham County Treasurer Alan Fox, and still own 11 of those today. Fox said they owe $3,543.88 in delinquent taxes, including $1,312 in city trash charges, “all from 2023.” The Assessor’s Office also sent a followup letter to the owner in March citing a ‘failure to comply’ with orders to make it safe. Fox noted that Boegner, who bought the property in 2006, “had no issues paying taxes and did not run up code charges” before selling it. The home, built in 1925, carries an assessed value of $25,100. Efforts to reach the owners for comment were unsuccessful.
