More Legal Woes for Drug Kingpin and Slumlord Milton Tillman

October 4, 2009 · 6 Comments

Milton Tillman is back in court again, and this time his legal woes have nothing to do with his drug dealing in Baltimore City.  Apparently being a drug kingpin isn’t as lucrative as it once may have been, and he’s now the defendant in multiple foreclosure lawsuits filed by a Mr. David Cohen of the law firm Cohen & Forman, LLC.

418 Federal Street

March 31, 2009 · 2 Comments

Property address:  418 Federal Street, Baltimore, MD 21202

Property owner:  Vernon Alt, 159 Clyde Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21227

City Council District and contact:  12th District, Jack Young

Interesting to note, this property was part of a ground rent lawsuit brought against Mr. Alt by Fred Nochumowitz, one of the people featured in the Baltimore Sun’s ground rent series, and in our follow-up to the ground rent series.

Apparently neither Mr. Alt or Mr. Nochumowitz are interested in the property, as evidenced by its current blighted state.

A Sea of Blight: Biddle & Barclay Streets, East Baltimore

March 5, 2009 · 4 Comments

There were too many houses to photograph individually, so we’ve provided you with a couple of views.  Most of the homes we saw today were abandoned — at least 90-95% of them. This part of Baltimore is steps away from Mt. Vernon and steps away from the Baltimore City Jail — an odd DMZ in the middle.  The fact that most of the abandoned homes are owned by the Housing Authority, and the Mayor and City Council, was a little disappointing.  Yet again, this is city-owned property that could serve a purpose, but instead it’s a blighted eyesore.

317 and 319-402 E. Biddle Street, and part of the 400 Block, Baltimore MD 21202

1100 Block, Barclay Street, Baltimore, MD 21202

Property Owners:  Some are owned by the Mayor and City Council, 417 E. Fayette Street, Baltimore, MD 21202.  Some are owned by the Housing Authority of Baltimore City, same address.

City Council District and Contact: 12th District, Jack Young
