As of April 1st, 2013, all properties that were at risk of foreclosure in Wayne County this year and did not address tax issues are foreclosed and title has transferred to the Wayne County Treasurer. However, there is still time to redeem a property and prevent it from entering the foreclosure auction.

Hey Bill,
I'm with you on them stopping paying rent. The owner is now the Wayne County Treasurer, not whoever they've been paying.
I'm not sure what the rules are concerning under what conditions a landlord can say 'get the hell outta my building,' but I imagine the only risk in not paying rent would be the landlord gets the building off the foreclosure list and decides to kick his tenants out. Even if there are rules against that kind of thing, well, you know, there are rules, and then there's what you can get away with in Detroit, which tend to be two very different quantities.
Hey Everyone! I stopped and spoke to the residents here during my foreclosure prevention project in NoCo. The story I was told is that the slumvestor owner, who apparently purchased the building in the tax auction 3 years ago, collected rent, never paid the taxes and it appears the building has been foreclosed. Have been attempting to contact a couple of the community housing groups for advice with no success.
Some of the issues the residents mentioned were leaks, electrical, and plumbing, certainly not unusual for a building of this age, but it's a nice looking building on a good street on the east side of NoCo.
My position is that the residents should cease paying rent IMMEDIATELY because Wayne County is the new owner, and at a minimum it will allow them to save some money to find a better place. Any suggestions regarding this course of action?
Ideally, the residents could pool their money and purchase the building themselves, but it also may be an opportunity for someone to pick up a building with residents and cash flow that could be an opportunity for a quality investor.

Incorrect photo. 3312 is actually the third house North of Ash as shown on the map above. The house in the photo above is at the corner of Ash and Harrison. Shows the correct house when you select the Google map link.
2849 Wabash:
Any body know anything about this one. It would make a great neighborhood center for North Cork town.

this house has burned since the Google picture was taken
