Section 4: Explain Your Answer to this Appeal 

As of 10/15/24, the property located at 2531 Helen (parcel no. 15009800) is a single 

family dwelling located in the Island View A.B. ECF. The property is in "Fair" condition. 

Petitioner makes no mention of needed repairs/cost to cure. Due to the previous sales 

study it is suggested that that the Assessed value be reduced to $24,870 (True cash 

value to $49,740). This would also reduce the price per square foot to $30.00. 

It is the City of Detroit's contention that this is a fair and equatable calculation.
