^ That’s a cool corner.

A lot of the old storefronts along Kinghighway are gorgeous. The fact that some are neglected so badly is a real shame.

$300k building permit issued for new home by Garcia Properties at 5038 Miami. Former LRA lot. It looks like it will get a tax abatement. At least a blighting bill passed the BoA.

If I remember correctly, this lot had a sinkhole develop a decade or more ago.  House on it was abandoned and eventually torn down.  Very few vacant lots or new builds in this nhood.

Really interesting post. I looked into it and the home was vacant since at least 2004, condemned in 2010 and there was a demo permit submitted in 2014. It was a comparably nondescript home (not a gingerbread). Crazy how long it took someone to buy the lot and build in such a desirable/stable neighborhood.

I noticed the blighting bill was from 2002, so I'd wager no tax abatement here.

Maybe this is a stupid question but do sinkholes go away? Why is it safe to build a house there now?

There was a story about filling one downtown not all that long ago. I suspect it depends very much on what caused them. If it's an old foundation or cistern and you fill it I'd guess you're fine. (Or potentially even an old beer cave, say.) If it's a broken sewer or water main you'd have to fix it. But you'd want to fix it anyway.

Besides our typical karst geology, south St. Louis also had lots of clay mines ( hense our brick architecture) and even a few coal mines. Sometimes these old voids come back and cause problems.

Love to hear this. I always wondered what happened with that lot. I run past it often. I hope they go modern with it like 4958.

I almost mentioned the mines, but I forgot. Yes. I suppose the big problem with both is that you can fill it all day, but if there's water flowing through and it erodes your fill you're back to square one.

So it goes back to depending on what kind of sinkhole you're talking.

Foundation has been poured on this one. Looks like it's gonna be a pretty narrow house. I'm assuming it will be a full two stories.

$265k building permit issued for a new home at 3242 Regal on June 12 and demo permits submitted June 14 and Aug 8 for the house. Same developer as the new homes on the same block.

Hello:

I am looking at a multifamily property in north hampton and have a couple of questions:

1. It is in clifton heights. does anyone know how I can check the rental history for a property or how much rent a property could be making? Is there a reliable resource?
2. does anyone know good property management companies that can manage multifamily property and not cost arm and leg?

Thank you!

For both questions, I'd contact Garcia Properties.  I've heard good things about them, both from the landlord and tenant sides.  They have a property management division.  Check out their website:  garciapropertymanagement.com
