A house belonging to Michigan state representative Sherry Gay-Dagnogo was torn down and nobody seems to know who was responsible.
Gay-Dagnogo's house was also damaged and the city had ordered her to bring it up to code by October 14 or have it demolished as well.
""That decision was made for us, we did not get an opportunity to determine the best path forward," she toldThe company that conducted the demolition on the neighboring house, Adamo Group, was investigated in 2018 for accidentally tearing down a home that they were not supposed to. The company is one of the city's largest demolition contractors."Adamo had absolutely nothing to do with the demolition of the structure.
Gay-Dagnogo's nonprofit, Coalition to Integrate Technology and Education, has purchased several properties located near city parks from Detroit's Land Bank with the intention of renovating them and making them habitable. After they purchased the Brightmoor home, Gay-Dagnogo says they invested approximately $42,000 in repairs. In June of this year, the neighboring city-owned house caught fire and caused damage to the adjacent building. The nonprofit was seeking quotes to bring the structure back to code.
Detroit police are investigating the case as malicious destruction of property, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
