Description
long-abandoned condos an eyesore, and developer gets away w/ leaving it lie fallow. They should be refurbished and opened now or torn down now, revealing a lovely view of the river, rather than an eyesore that brings the neighborhood down.

Are they foreclosed on?

They are owned by a developer who keeps staving off demolition orders by doing small improvements, like the roof he recently added. It was owned by adjacent Hemingway Cove Condos, and was likely bought by Riverside Property Mgmt. in West Cornwall, CT, but I am not completely sure the sale went through. The Mayor's Office knows about, but feel free to remind them, so they can place a new demo order to force them either rebuilt or erased. Condo neighbors have been dealing w/ these for 25 years, so this is not just about the recession, honestly.
The city or the adjacent nature preserve of the New Haven Land Trust, Quinnipiac Meadows/Fargeorge Preserve, needs to step in and expand the park/preserve area to include this property. there is a great view of the river being blocked by these dangerous eyesores.

Whatever info you guys could post about the current state of this property and the history would be interesting.
Who knows maybe a developer will take interest.

Yes, you're right - there is an old blue-gray boarded up church a few doors down that I heard a developer owns, but has done nothing with it. I wouldn't want that one torn down it's old - it has a great waterfront backyard, and would make a great home, apartments, design or architect's office or a community center or artists' studios. I agree some thing should be done w/ it, though.
