RE: 24-003412 

"Lot 23" BE Taylor's Coronado Subdivision, Wayne County Michigan 

15145 Heyden St., Detroit, MI 1D# 

Michigan Tax Tribunal 

& The City of Detroit, Tax Assessor 

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen, 

Please note the foilowing: 

This parcel value never changed, it was a tiny part of a farger property that was assembled in the 1970's, by others. 

The ownership of the property never changed and this is a continuing unnecessary expense for all parties involved. 

Someone in the City of Detroit HUD office made a clerical error, that has cost us alt tens of thousands of dollars. 

With a simple HUD employee typo, they assumed title of our lot incorrectly vs. one that was down the street, that did not involve us. 

Disappointed by the failure of Detroit to resolve this in a timely fashion, we had filed for a tax appeal, 

prior to expediting the sale of the property involved. 

Nothing in the previously received Tax Tribunal correspondence indicated the need for "Proof of Service" on the opposing party. 

Our family has been commercial / industrial business owners, contractors & employers of thousands of people in Detroit, for 87 years. 

In 2025, we liquidated, sold & moved everything that we had (three ++ city blocks involving 20 + lots) out of Wayne County. 

We had to hire attorneys to clear the title of only this single fot among many that we previously owned, to sell our Detroit facilities. 

This effort has taken now, almost three years to resolve and it has been very time consuming. 

The gross incompetence of the Government officials in Detroit is horribly disappointing, about which we have countless factual stories. 

However, prior to being able to expedite the sales 

& closings, this title mess created by a single typo, was completely resolved. 

Per your letter, we are sending this memo with related attachments, to the City of Detroit, Property Tax Division.

Once again, we respectfully request that this case be closed so that everyone can move on. 

Thank You!

MI Tax Tribunal, Small Claims Division 

20101 Fenkell Ave., Detroit, MI 48223, Related parcel issues 

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen, 

This issue evolved due to the City of Detroit & HUD, inadvertantly taking posession of one of our parcels, due to a clerical error on their part. 

The ownership issue / deed, was corrected afier a lengthy process. 

We have since also SOLD the entire property containing the parcel with the clerical error. 

Accordingly, there is no longer any need for this tax appeal, on our behalf, 

Please close case # 24-003412. 

Thank You!
