City lender says Marks must pay back tax before loan
Landlord George Marks owes more than $38,000 in back taxes on four South Crouse Avenue houses slated for rehabilitation with a $500,000 federal loan. A city councilor said Marks also owes over $15,000 in taxes and demolition fees on another property. He must clear all taxes before closing on the loan, and he must deposit $300,000 of his own funds. Hoffmann urged legislation to bar delinquent taxpayers from rehab loans, while Michel cautioned against inflexible rules that could hinder redevelopment.
