Eyesore of the week: 412 E. Cavanaugh Road,

412 E. Cavanaugh Road,

Lansing

This 723-square-foot, one-bedroom, single-bath home near the intersection of Cedar Street and Cavanaugh Road was hit with seven citations for an overgrown lawn between 2012 and 2018. In August 2018, the city’s Code Enforcement Office ticketed it for being unsafe to occupy and for not having a proper rental license in place. It was boarded up that same month and has been unoccupied ever since. The former owner, Dabish Inc., sold it to the Romulus-based property group Cedar and Cavanaugh LLC in January 2019. Since then, the new owners have avoided any additional penalties on the 1925-built house, though the property has remained boarded up while its wooden exterior and detached shed have continued to deteriorate. According to the Lansing assessor’s website, Cedar and Cavanaugh LLC was issued electrical and building permits to remodel the home in 2022, but both have since expired. They also own the adjacent building at 4312 S. Cedar, which houses a T-Mobile store. Efforts to contact the owners for comment were unsuccessful.
