Washington and William Street properties owned by Freidline and the progress and proposed work for those properties. The burned house on William Street in the Chapin Park LHD was finally released by the Fire Department for clean up per Code Enforcement. Morgan stated she was working with the Insurance Company and that she thought the house would eventually be demolished. "The Castle" on West Washington is presently being worked on. She is in contact with Action Glass to replace the damaged curved window glass and other windows. She has notified all of the tenants that they must have proper curtains in the windows and not blankets and sheeting. They have done interior inspections of the apartments and repaired some plumbing. She said that the roof over the porch would need to be replaced and that some stonework needed to be re- pointed. I referred her to Russ Luchies at S1aTile for the stonework which she appreciated because she said that she wasn't familiar with stonework. The problem tenant was evicted from the carriage house and the brick outdoor fireplace was completely removed. The landscaping in the yard may be river rocks. 16 April On site visits to Linden Park aka Martin Luther King Jr. Center and 902 Leland. 19 April Media Conference at the Conservatories with Diana Mendelsohn, Heidi Gray, Gary Gilot, Mikki Dobski Shidler, Randy Przybysz, Phil St. Claire and Marta Elliot of AEP for Earth Day /Arbor Day Events scheduled for this week and weekend.
