Monday July 15, 2019

On Saturday, July 13, 30 members of the Youngstown Housing Task Force conducted a community action and visited the homes of Jared Shade of Shadetree Holdings LLC; Carmen Neapolitan of The San Francisco Group, The Manhattan Group, The Dayton Group, The Brooklyn Group , The Atlanta Group, The Dallas Group, The Floridian Group and The Harley Group; Michael Robidoux; and Cornell Kennedy of Cardinal Renovations Group to ask these property owners to sign community agreements to address outstanding issues including: delinquent property taxes, code violations, demolition and other negative conditions.

None of the landlords agreed to sign the community agreements. The Youngstown Housing Task Force will continue taking community and legal action to address these negative property conditions.
