“Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services (INHS) has announced that two properties on Cleveland Avenue in Southside will be demolished this week. The affected properties, located at 113-115 and 215 Cleveland Avenue in Ithaca, have faced structural challenges and are slated for redevelopment.
The property at 113-115 Cleveland Avenue, a rental duplex, suffered a devastating house fire in 2023….
Additionally, INHS purchased the property at 215 Cleveland Avenue in 2021, originally intending to rehabilitate it. However, a shift in plans occurred after the home was deemed structurally unsound."
