In the case of 647 Flatbush, for example, the current owner (as of 9/2010), John Gray, lives at 423 Lincoln Pl., according to the deed filed at the time of the sale. Sending the ticket to the owner would help. Of course, various members of the Gray family have owned this building since at least 1980, swapping it among themselves and various LLCs whenever the tax liens and DOB fines got too onerous, or whenever a need for cash necessitated a new non-arm's-length sale and mortgage. Can the leopard change its spots? I'm kind of pessimistic here, but perhaps if enough pressure is brought to bear from the community, I'll be proved wrong. In that hope, I'm with you!babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365488181982105888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-23910074261072528782011-06-07T11:04:14.600-04:002011-06-07T11:04:14.600-04:00and it’s a good plan, mr Q - and it could ripple o...and it’s a good plan, mr Q - and it could ripple out further.
