FSK Hotel foreclosure challenged in Maryland
Former Francis Scott Key Hotel owners appeal ratification of foreclosure on grounds the court admitted evidence and the $360000 sale price was too low. Maryland District Court defers action on a four party dispute over hotel belongings to Feb 2. The parties include Rosenstock for Farmers & Mechanics Bank, James W. Freeman as bankruptcy trustee, Homewood as hotel buyer, and the Todds and their trust. Rodarick Wagner of Homewood says papers are not yet reviewed and decisions on elderly housing depend on the appeal outcome. He notes no talks with city officials until the fight is resolved.
