Eyesore of the week: 2112 High St.

Posted

This two-story home sits on a large parcel of land, surrounded by a fence. Its southern side is completely covered with plywood. 

On the northern side, plywood covers some of the windows — one on the front porch of the house and one on the northern side. The window frames on the second floor are visibly rotting. A gutter on the south side has broken free of the house and a long, dark stain resembling smoke damage crawls up the white siding. 

City records show the home has four bedrooms and one full bathroom in 1,127 square feet of liveable space. The house was built in 1920.

The property has been red-tagged and boarded up since July 2019. The Ingham County treasurer sold the property for $7,000 last October to Sandy, Utah, resident Duad Mohammad Bahaduri. 

The issue of red-tagged housing and people living in those properties drew renewed scrutiny after a Feb. 1 fire destroyed the bungalow at 810 Beulah St. on the near south side of the Fabulous Acres neighborhood. The couple who lived there and their dog were on a walk. When they returned, the home was ablaze.
