Another day in the life on Clifton Prado
Clifton Prado is one of the city’s strangest streets. It might have been a neat looking place 20 years ago, but now, not so much. Lakewood’s animal control officer visited 1280-82 Clifton Prado on September 24th to remove a dog from a house believed to be vacant. A police officer on the scene called public works to clear out the stinky garbage littering the premises. He also requested that someone from the housing department respond to help determine who owns the property.
It seems like it’s a ghost house – no one lives there, no one pays property taxes. The auditor’s office indicates Valerie A Harms of 27626 Caroline Cir, Apt C, of Westlake, OH has owned the property since 1997. She owes $8,000 in delinquent property taxes. The house went into foreclosure in 2008, but the sheriff’s sale was withdrawn.
Also in the updated crime calendar, two more copper pipe thefts were reported on September 28th at 2032 Dowd and 1356 Fry.
