Triplex Opposed in Northwood

Residents at the Frankford NAC zoning meeting on June 9th voted to oppose the conversion of the property at 5114 Castor Avenue to a triplex citing the Northwood deed restriction.  The property goes before the Northwood Civic Association at their meeting on June 21st.

4623 Mulberry – Was discontinued. Meaning they failed to show up three times so, they have to go through the process all over again as we are not going to see them.

5520 Harbison- Continued because they need residents to vote and they need to give us a clearer picture of what they plan to do with the property.
