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.

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.

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.
