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.

4492 Burns:
Google Maps and Bing already show imagery, so it's not like you'd be doing anything that isn't already accessible online. But that doesn't speak to the basic question of whether or not it's right, wrong, or just kinda creepy to post photos of other people's property online (though a lot of us do it all the time -- whenever someone else's house, business, or property winds up in the background, or as the subject, of an Instagram photo or something).
To me, as long as you're intentions are good and respectful, and you're photographing stuff to show change over time or to present useful information to the WDWOT and Detroit community, it's fine to photograph property and post it publicly.
And WDWOT does have a moderation policy -- if people are taking photos or making comments that we don't think are appropriate, we won't allow them to be posted on the site.
Then again, there's also this guy :-)

thanks alex - i posted a current photo - this property actually looks VERY different now. but i felt weird posting public photos about a property owned by someone else. I don't mind you guys seeing it and assume you can even if it's private?
Hey Sandra! It'll be public by default. If you are a Member then you can click the "Make this comment private" checkbox underneath the comment field, and the photo, and anything you write, will be private. - Alex
Jerry - if I attach a photo, is that public or private?
4225 Seminole:
Might be coincidence but 4257 Seminole was a Top 5 pick from Curbed Detroit's list of Residential Properties in the Auction.
not sure, but looks like newhomes1 bought just this one property, so they must have really wanted it
What on earth! Why is the bidding so high on this. This is my old neighborhood and I don't understand.
