Youngstown Housing Task Force Holds Action to Address Youngstown Houses LLC

Thursday, July 11, 2024. 

On Wednesday, July 10, more than 80 members of the Youngstown Housing Task Force, ACTION, YNDC, and other ally organizations boarded buses to visit the offices of Allstate Property Management, who is the property manager for Youngstown Houses LLC. The task force sought to execute a community agreement with Allstate Property Management regarding the condition of the 304 single family homes owned by Youngstown Houses LLC. Allstate Property Management refused to open the door and communicate with the Task Force.

Youngstown Houses LLC has over 80 properties in code enforcement with the City of Youngstown, thousands in outstanding fines owed, dozens of outstanding tenant concerns, and has been imposing significant rent increases on tenants. Local news media have documented severe distress in some of these homes which are occupied by rent paying tenants.

The Youngstown Housing Task Force will continue working to address Youngstown Houses LLC. If you are a tenant and would like to share your story with the Task Force, please call 330.480.0423.
