Baltimore Housing Authority Reviews
The City of Baltimore Housing Department can legally take your private property, your house, from you by Building
Inspectors declaring it "Vacant" and ordering it "boarded up" or face a $500.00 dollar a day fine.
If you do not comply with them, they will take you to Housing Court and have the Court legally "take"
your house by a Court Receivership action.
The City then ownes your house and puts it up to a private Auction for Investors and Contractors to purchase
the house by very low bids with the condition that they will fix it up.
Please refer to a Baltimore TV program on February 29, by Barry Sims, on Channel 11, WBAL-TV, on this
matter. For example.... a Owner of a small rowhouse was in Europe, and unknown to him, the City of Baltimore
Housing Department, "took" the property by Receivership and sold it at a City Auction for $5,000 to
Investors, within a period of only 40 forty days. The Property was worth $100,000 dollars. All this was
unknown to him...and he has lost $95,000 dollars by this "legal" action.
The City of Baltimore does not give Fair Market Value for the property .....they just "take" the property.
