As far as the project itself, everyone better get a picture of the pink neon Rorick sign now, cause its coming down. The building is being renamed.

Well best of luck to you on that. I hope they figure out something that gives you a favorable outcome.

Very worse case I might have to declare bankruptcy. Keep in mind that I'm behind zero payments on anything. While it might be good the building is going to get finished, the remaining owners are getting bent over a barrel. Anybody have a time machine handy?

20 Residents going in to bankruptcy at no fault of their own sounds like a Mike McKnight investigation...

If I were in your shoes I'd get as many of those owners as possible organized and get the publicity out on the new "landlord". It sounds like they are completely within their rights to do what they are doing, but that doesn't make it not a d!ck move.

Make sure their potential future tenants know just what they will be dealing with. Get on here. Get on Facebook. Get on Twitter. Make sure any Google search for the building and management group brings up the story somehow.

Sorry about that situation, Josh. I definitely hope for a good outcome for you.

That is sad about the sign.

The new apartments on leavenworth should take this sign off their hands and plop it on their building.

Yeah. Where's the sign? Me wants.

Just drove by and the Rorick sign was replaced with a huge red neon sign that says "City View". It actually looks pretty cool.

When did they change the name of the rorick to "City View" and put a terrible new sign on the roof?
I'm slow.

The City View building and the shorter one next door always reminded me of something you might see in an older east coast city or Chicago. A unusual style of architecture for Omaha. I’ve been to the top of the shorter building for work it has excellent views as well. Too bad about the awful condition it’s in.

Yikes. File this under "the more things change, the more things stay the same". The Rorick was a place I was told to stay away from in the 90's when I first started driving. That whole stretch of St. Mary's to Leavenworth was not a great area. I had a friend that bought into the City View around 2009 or 2010 when it was first marketed as condos. He was "all in" on it for its affordability and the way it was renovated. I told him flat out, terrible idea and sell this asap. and, within a few years, it went back to apartments because no one was buying the condos. Sounds like it's been absolutely trashed again.

could be time to just tear it down.

Actually I lived in City View from 2011 to 2014, back then was managed by Lund and, to be honest, it was fine. It looked better that other apartments downtown like The Union or The Kensington Tower.

Management took care of things, from time to time you could see a cockroach, but they sprayed quite regularly. The anti-pest guys told us that, because the way City View was done, it was no way to get rid completely of cockroaches. The cleaning guy, Fulgencio, was amazing, and all common areas were clean.

Owes close to $750,000': City View Apartments put into receivership

https://www.ketv.com/article/omaha-city ... p/64571215

ketv.com wrote:The Douglas County District Court has placed City View Apartments under receivership.

Receivership is a legal process that gives control of a borrowed property to a neutral third party.

According to court documents, the owner of the complex owes the bank thousands of dollars. Merchants Bank of Indiana, which loaned City View $16.5 million in 2022, alleges that the last required payment was made on April 10, 2024. Since then, no further payments have been made.

Owned by Tzadik City View LLC which is a subsidiary of Tzadik Properties, LLC. Looks like they have had massive issues with apartments in Sioux Falls, and were successfully sued for withholding pay to a founder of the company

Glad this building is going to get a rehab.

Drew Krinsky, affordable housing developer with Smith & Henzy Affordable Group that will renovate the former City View apartments, said affordable housing can be a tool for broader community investment, including preserving housing for other residents, bringing more investments to communities and creating jobs.
