unknown writes on the Prospect Heights Message Board: “This property has been through the ringer…”
unknown continues to say (NOTE: we don’t have any way to verify this information, so read with a grain of salt):
“The original owner died in 1992, leaving the property to his grandson and his son as the executor. Through unknown reasons, the will was not probated until 2004 by the son and his father. The son sold the property to someone who promised to renovate the building, this person incurred violations from the DOB while cleaning out the building. This person then sold the building in late 2005 early 2006 to someone else.”
“The property is 696 Washington Ave and you can find the new owners name on the property tax website. This property is an eyesore to our community and I would love if someone can do something with it.“
