There are currently several open complaints on this property( one at least extending to last year.

The city NEVER addresses or corrects the problem.

Everyone needs to keep complaining about this building, the only way the city is going to do anything is if we put the pressure on them. They can't ignore this issue forever.

This property is own by CANTON COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION, located in City Hall on the 5th floor. The department is Community Development, phone number is 330-489-3344.This is ward 1 and the council person is Greg Hawk, email: gregory.hawk@cantonohio.gov . I'm sure and in a polite way to contact the department or Greg, hopefully we can get a update concerning this building. If this was a house, code enforcement would have been writing violations and turning it over to the law department.

I called for which was provided by James . The woman answering claims they have nothing to do with the property .

The person to speak with is Rafael Rodriguez . His number is 330-453-5900

Update: It seems like the woman who answered the phone earlier at the Canton community improvement corporation tried to give me the runaround on purpose and direct me to someone who no longer works for them or who has any involvement with this issue. Mr. Rodrigues is no longer affiliated with the CCIC.

The mayor is the head of this community improvement corporation. Our ward council person, Greg Hawk, is also a member of the council.

I see on their website that meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month at 9:30 AM in the City Hall eighth floor conference room .

Time to bring a crowd to the meeting. Start holding their feet to the fire. Accept no B S.

Rodriguez and associates were the ones who were waiting on funds to renovate the school. They were denied so the property once again belongs to the city. I too have been told they aren't responsible for it when in fact they are. I wonder why our neighborhood seems to be at the bottom of the waiting list... We matter too. We want to be able to look outside and not see that ugly nuisance building. We want to let our kids play outside without wondering who or what is lurking in that building. We want what the city is only doing for downtown and the HOF! We want change!!

Mr. Rodriguez is no longer affiliated with the CCIC; I spoke with him yesterday, The property still belongs to the CCIC though and the mayor is head of the organization.

Exactly, the school belongs to the city once again. They sell it cheap every few years to someone who says they are going to renovate it. Never happens, goes back into city hands and just sits there falling apart more and more each year.

I am going by the information on the auditor's website when I refer to the owners as the CCIC. The property is not listed as owned by the "City of Canton". I'm well aware of the nature of the property as I've lived in the neighborhood since 2004 and I agree with you in that things need to change sooner rather than later.

I know, I am aware if the auditors website as well. The CCIC is a city ran entity. The city officials are still running the CCIC. I've been downtown and talked to the city engineer, this whole issue with the school is something the city needs to address. I would like to start a petition and get people to sign that they want something done with it. Unfortunately I refuse to go door to door in my own neighborhood. That buliding is good portion of why our neighborhood became nothing but rentals and section 8. Nobody wants to buy or stay in this neighborhood with the way it looks. Absolutely pathetic that these officials sit and turn a blind eye!

For this year, divert the "Grand Parade" West on 14th NW, North on Arnold NW, East on 15th NW, South on Oxford NW, East on 14th NW, continue North on Cleveland. Just divert the enshrinee's and all out of town people. Let them see what is right off the parade route. Take pictures of the area, make copies and hand out the day of the parade. Clean it up Canton.

Due to the heavy volume of submissions at this time, your case will be followed up on in the order it was received. 5-9-2019 po 30
