Meanwhile, the unpaid taxes continued to pile up, it never went on the annual tax sale as a complete property, it kept mysteriously reverting from Class 3 or 4 to Class 1 Residential on the OTR database, and continued to deteriorate visibly.

Any update on this property? I live nearby and it looks worse and worse. My understanding is that the bank recently foreclosed on the owner, which I guess is good but there it sits. Great blog, btw!
Thanks!
Last I heard, the city gave permission to knock it down, then decided that the structure could be saved. Martin Moulton has a video about that part at http://youtu.be/wwByz8RGeyA . Looking at the tax roll Beverly is still listed as the owner.
This thing goes, on and on till the break o dawn, and the day after that, and the day after that.
and so if the city decides the structure can be saved, it cannot be torn down or altered significantly. I noticed that old owner is still listed on the tax roles, too-- not the bank. This is nuts.
