A listing of abandoned, vacant, and overgrown properties in my 'hooden-ushttp://www.mapbuilder.net/users/Toledomaps/61789180MapBuilder.Net1474125Tue, 03 Jun 2008 23:58:40 -0400http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/Toledomaps/61789I am still trying to feel my way around this program.  How much description do I add to the captions, or is it best to leave that short, and add the content in the description? This is considered a multifamily residence.  This link, http://www.flickr.com/photos/17202753@N00/2549488593/, shows a house owned by SoCal Investments.  More can be learned by going to AREIS, and looking at the information on the owner of the house.41.632 -83.56170541.632-83.5617051474126Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:01:21 -0400http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/Toledomaps/61789This house is owned by HUD,

about 18" high.  See http://www.flickr.com/photos/17202753@N00/2528571101/ for photos.41.631097578256714 -83.558535575866741.631097578256714-83.55853557586671453669Mon, 26 May 2008 12:18:48 -0400http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/Toledomaps/61789A beautiful duplex at one time.  "Google" AREIS in Lucas County, Ohio for history, and details.  Owner in jail, and property being maintained by company employed by GMAC.  Has been broken into over the years.  A few years ago a homeless person was living in the stairwell leading the 2nd floor apartment.  Homeless person was a smoker, and someone saw the light from her cigarette.  Was broken in Spring of 2007, and copper water pipe was stolen.  Roof needs repair.  Still has beautiful woodwork inside (unless damaged from leak in the roof).  Has been boarded at rear to prevent further vandalism.  GMAC is ensuring grass is being mowed very 7-10 days.  Front porch needs replacement, or someone will fall through.  See

County, OH for details, and history.  Owner forced to move when her company left Ohio.  Much work done on house through various local and federal programs.  Also has a second house on property with a Chapin Street address in the 400 block.  Has been recently sealed after much vandalism during winter and spring.  Looks like lawn is now being maintained. Outside A/C gutted by vandals.  Looks like owner may be beginning to maintain property again.  This,  http://www.flickr.com/photos/17202753@N00/2529393496/ , is the house as seen from Chapin Street near the corner with South Avenue.  This is the front of the house, http://www.flickr.com/photos/17202753@N00/2550311486/.41.63096 -83.55970541.63096-83.5597051453673Mon, 26 May 2008 12:35:53 -0400http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/Toledomaps/61789See AREIS for Lucas County, OH for details.  House has been boarded up.  Had homeless living in it a couple of months ago until Police called.  See http://www.flickr.com/photos/17202753@N00/sets/72157605287829624/ for a photo.41.632513 -83.55743841.632513-83.5574381453674Mon, 26 May 2008 12:39:08 -0400http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/Toledomaps/61789Someone has boarded up house well.  Had apartment dwellers until Fall of 2007.41.632529 -83.55872341.632529-83.5587231453677Mon, 26 May 2008 13:13:01 -0400http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/Toledomaps/61789House renovated, but vandals have done minor damage since.  See http://www.flickr.com/photos/17202753@N00/2528574919/ for a photo.41.63222024749365 -83.5591685771942141.63222024749365-83.559168577194212605529Sun, 18 Jul 2010 00:22:59 -0400http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/Toledomaps/61789Check AREIS Online for information about this house.  It has been turned over to the bank.  Today (7/17/2010) I saw the front door standing open.  This is picture of this house   at 826 Walbridge, Toledo, OH  43609.  See http://www.flickr.com/photos/17202753@N00/2528576069/ 41.632491 -83.55920341.632491-83.5592031459835Tue, 27 May 2008 19:21:34 -0400http://www.mapbuilder.net/users/Toledomaps/61789/This house has a condemnation notice dated 10/2/2007, and the letter was mailed on 10/29/2007.  The First Federal Bank of Midwest in Maumee holds the paper on this property.
