This property is in the local Russell Woods Historic District. Purchasers will need to obtain Detroit Historic District Commission approval for all major exterior improvements.
Purchasers should plan on making a range of repairs to the property, and bidders are strongly encouraged to review the attached Pre-Sale Inspection Report for more detail. Please also note that at closing the purchaser will be responsible for paying all properly-assessed property taxes not otherwise exempt pursuant to the statutory authority of the Detroit Land Bank.
Finally, please note that any discounts on the purchase (i.e. the city employee discount); will be granted at the time of closing on the sale. The purchaser will be charged $1,000.00 upon winning the bid, regardless of any discounts.
