After seeing an email notification yesterday about the pending demolition of 2522 Penn Ave N, one of two decrepit houses owned by local disinvestment specialist* Keith Reitman, I decided to stroll over to the corner of 26th and Penn for photographic evidence. Much to my pleasant surprise, a demolition has also been set for the other twin at 2520 Penn.
The latter is particularly impressive because 2522 has apparently already been purchased from the city. Currently it seems that 2520 is still owned by Reitman and perhaps a host of others as well. I'm hoping that the city does manage to hit Reitman with the demo fee in this case, instead of capitulating and buying him out at what could be an inflated price.
