Anyone know who the developer is?

Seems to be a guy named Paulo Oh; don't know anything further about him.

Seems to be a guy named Paulo Oh; don't know anything further about him.

And now it appears that he is named in the Sandro Lisi ITO document:

iii) Between March 18th and June 24th, 2013 Paulo OH called or texted LISI on 59
occasions.
iv) Between March 18th and June 24th, 2013 LISI called or texted Paulo OH on 52
occasions.

Half of the property (1002 Bathurst) suffered a fire on October 7 in which one person died. Police have called it suspicious and suspect foul play.

The project had been approved.

Here's 1000-1002 Bathurst as taken yesterday, November 23

The blue tarp is where the roof/dormer was removed after the fire.

This is not in Detroit?

Kinda obvious what's going on here.

Detroit doesn't have streetcar tracks!

It could fill in for Philly's west side, where there is poverty and streetcars (subway-surface lines).

Yes. I think the same thing is happening to the stretch of buildings on the North side of Queen across from CAMH. There should be a willful neglect hotline.

Apparently the property at 1000 is occupied (perhaps not entirely legally) at the back.

It's not like the developer is hiding anything: he bought some aging properties, and has boarded them up in anticipation of replacing them. All the City could do in response to a tip that they were being neglected is inspect to see that the buildings were properly boarded up.

Ah, well, the City could do something about that.

I think they were actually initially boarded up at the behest of the city - there was trash accumulating in the doorway of #1002, for one thing.

Thanks for filling in that info!

When the Google Street View vehicle went by in Aug 2017, here's how the site looked:

Anyone know if anything has happened since then?
