The full ordinance can be found here- http://www.cityofmacomb.com/historic_ordinance.html The Randolph House has been detiorating far longer than Macomb has had this ordinance on the books. The rules aren't all that strict... if you update it, make it reflect the historic character of the building. Nothing to do with anything but the facade. The Commission is concerned... but have no authority to compel investment in the building. Should someone choose to do so, they would have design input. The bigger problem is that the building has deteriorated to the point that upgrade will be tremendously expensive. As it stands, Triad just rents out the apartments and a storefront.

What is the "HP" in guidelines? Historical Preservation? Do you think the hesitation on owners' part has to do w/ strict rules set forth by the preservation committee? If it is something a historic preservation committee has under its purview, why aren't they concerned about lack of upkeep? Just curious. Thanks for info! @Dave, thanks for your response.
