A swath of 25 properties that for years have plagued sections of Germantown and Mount Airy as a nuisance to neighbors and substandard housing for residents appear to be on the way to redevelopment. Scattered over several different blocks, the parcels include apartment buildings, row houses, twins, and townhouse-style developments. They total 114 housing units, of which 21 are currently occupied.
Records indicate dozens of violations issued by the Department of License and Inspections (L&I) over more than a decade that include weakened floors, water damage, mold, elevated lead and radon levels, unsafe heating equipment, hazardous electrical systems, and more.
