On Friday, the Indiana Attorney General announced that he filed a lawsuit against Rich-Mons Group LLC, the owners of the Pointe Apartments at 309 Gibson Street. On Monday, the Plymouth Common Council tabled their request for a Commercial Revitalization Rebate Program Grant.
Anthony Collins told council members that Bob Richards, one of the owners, had a stroke two years ago so he can’t oversee the 16 properties he owns. Collins said they fired the Pointe manager after 10 years and he started taking care of the Pointe and found the living conditions less than expected. He also blamed the roof damage on a person evicted in November last year saying he got up on the flat roof and sliced it open.
A new roof was recently put on the Pointe for $110,000 and Collins was seeking a Revitalization Rebate Grant of up to 20% of the cost. He did provide two bids for the roof work.
While the roof was one of the main issues at the Pointe, additional work on the interior is needed to bring the property up to code including the fire suppression and alarm system, plumbing, electrical, mold remediation, and drywall. Collins estimated that they have spent over $100,000 on the interior with much more work to complete. He hoped to have the facility open by the first of the year but said the other owner doesn’t want to invest in the property.
The city council wasn’t confident Rich-Mons Group would get the work completed. The motion was made to table the request for a rebate grant by Councilman Randy Longanecker and seconded by Councilman Don Ecker. Anthony Collins was told to return when significant progress has been completed on the Pointe and they would consider his rebate request. The city council unanimously approved tabling the request.
