This property was pulled from the demolition queue to provide an opportunity for purchase and rehab. It will be available for sale for 30 days until December 11^th, 2024 or until an offer is received. 

The Detroit Land Bank Authority has no knowledge of the condition, connection, or operability of the water service line that would normally connect this property to the water main, the line may be severed, damaged, or otherwise inoperable. Obtaining water service to this property may be a significant challenge and cost to the purchaser, in addition to the other challenges and costs of rehabilitation. Further, the water service line may be a lead line that requires replacement at the homeowner’s expense. The cost to reconnect a water service line can exceed $10,000 or more, and the purchaser will be required to reconnect the water service line at their own expense as part of the purchaser’s contractual obligation to rehabilitate the property. In other words, if you buy this property and the water line has been cut or needs to be replaced, you will have to pay to reconnect or replace it.  Reconnecting or replacing the waterline is not included in the purchase price.

The Detroit Land Bank will issue a Quit Claim Deed at closing, which transfers its interest in the property. The purchaser will be responsible for any delinquent taxes, water bills, or liens on the property.

The purchaser will also be responsible for paying all current year real property taxes, as well as property taxes in all future years.
