    Recorded conditions

    Demolition of six rowhomes at 1820-1830 Park Mall approved to alleviate financial hardship of preserving all Park Mall homes. Developer deemed it economically unfeasible to extend redevelopment to these properties. Space will be used for pedestrian plaza. Mixed-use development planned for 1800 and 1900 blocks with remaining rowhouse properties. Developer will not undertake redevelopment if some rowhomes remain vacant due to marketability concerns.
