PARCEL NUMBER: 27080907 PROPERTY ADDRESS: 16215 WARWICK | am requesting a reassessment of my single-family home located at 16215 Warwick St. Detroit, Michigan 48219. When | purchased the home in 2021, the assessed value did not account for the structural damage to the home. Since | moved into the home in May 2021, | have invested approximately $75,000_to make the home habitable (foundational work $8,103, replacing lead compromised windows $32,000, installing fence $5,355, replacing rotted doors and frames $11,000, replacing gutter system $1,894, removing vines from mortar $1,770, replacing internal collapsed ceilings $8,000, tree removal $5,000). In addition to the vast amount of money | invested | still need to spend an additional $113,729 on urgent repairs to my home specifically a new roof, replacing the remaining windows, and electrical work. New Roof: $60, 313, Erie Home Replace remaining windows: $41,041, Wallside Windows Electric work $12,375, Detroit Voltage | have provided receipts and pictures as proof of the completed work and estimates for the $113,729 in work that remains. | have also included pictures of my home to further refute the estimates cash value, assessed value, and effective age. The home was so poorly maintained by the previous owners, and the plumbing, kitchen, bathroom and basement are around 50 years old. | Cost to Take up Residence: $73,490 Estimated Cost of Urgent Repairs:$113, 729 Total Cost Estimated Cost of Home to Remain Habitable: $187,219 Additionally, | received notice that despite the Board's decision to adjust the market rate/condition of my home from $181,900 to $119,000, the taxable value would remain at $107,493, which is $5,118 more than in 2023. The appeal findings falsely stated that the 2024 assessed value before the appeal was $119,300, when in fact it was $181,900. | am a single, first-time homeowner. The uncapping of my taxes coupled with the grossly overestimated assessed value and taxable value is financially crippling. When | informed the City of Detroit of my financial difficulty, | was simply told to sell my home. | ask for a reevaluation of the taxable value and consideration for poverty exemption.
