Cincinnati City Council is considering an ordinance to execute a Community Reinvestment Area tax exemption agreement for the renovation of a three-story, ten-unit apartment building in Columbia Tusculum.
Emerson Place Apartments, LLC plans a $325,500 rehabilitation of the building at that would include new roofing, windows, flooring, and mechanicals.
A burned-out building next door would be demolished to create green space.
If approved by council, the eight-year, 75 percent exemption on the increased property tax value would save the developer nearly $52,000 in tax liability.
The project would be completed by December 2009.
According to City building inspection records, the structure has been vacant for nearly three years.

I think the burned out building is or has been demolished. There was construction equipment on-site last week.
I believe this building is technically in the East End, and not Columbia Tusculum.
Sherman, you may be right. Permits have already been issued, I just haven't followed up.
Anonymous, it's all Columbia Tusculum north of Eastern Avenue, according to the auditor and CAGIS.
