Roosevelt Hendrix v. City of Detroit

Order Michigan Supreme Court Lansing, Michigan May 2, 2012 Robert P. Young, Jr., Chief Justice 144329 Michael F. Cavanagh Marilyn Kelly Stephen J. Markman Diane M. Hathaway Mary Beth Kelly Brian K. Zahra, ROOSEVELT HENDRIX, Justices Plaintiff-Appellee, v SC: 144329 COA: 299166 Wayne CC: 07-731709-CZ CITY OF DETROIT, AMRU MEAH, and DAVID CLARK, Defendants-Appellants. _________________________________________/ On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 13, 2011 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE the judgment of the Court of Appeals and we REINSTATE the June 15, 2010 order of the Wayne Circuit Court. MCL 125.541(7) entitles the defendant City to a money judgment against the owner of a dangerous building for the full cost of the building’s demolition. The City is also entitled to a judgment lien against the property on which the building sat, but nothing in the statute limits the City to that relief. I, Corbin R. Davis, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
