67% Informative

Gresham Block is part of a stretch of early 20th-century architecture along 9th Avenue S.E. in Inglewood .

Tenants received a 90-day notice their tenancies would be terminated, with the landlord citing an intention to demolish the building.

Everett Berry said living conditions have worsened in the months since receiving his notice.

He describes broken utilities such as sporadic heat and a rampant bedbug infestation.

Most of Inglewood 's heritage buildings on 9th Avenue are privately owned, and not legally protected from demolition.

Councilman says Gresham Block is 'probably not salvageable, it's falling apart' Councillor says the developer is “being smart” by holding off on applying for a development permit for the site.
