Of course, proper redevelopment will take an equally proper amount of funding.įree Rockefeller Park Greenhouse: An Urban Oasis in Downtown Cleveland Now only a shell of its better days, with things too far gone, there is no way back up unless proper redevelopment takes place. Whitehall police were averaging two calls per day to the neighborhood. Woodcliff was no longer the safe and comfortable place it once was. Among these issues, the landscaping and overall neighborhood cleanup and upkeep continued to be neglected by condo management. Streets were crumbling, homes had problems with roaches, sewer backups, mold and various structural issues. Between 20, there had been numerous property-code-violation complaints and reports made to the city of Whitehall. The property was declared a public nuisance in 2008. The city and county filed a health complaint in 2007, noting that the condo association management had been disposing of residents’ trash by simply dumping it in the swimming pool, and hiring contractors to clean it out every month. Things had already gone bad, but were about to take a turn for the worst for this neighborhood.
Poor management is partially to blame for letting things continue the way they did over the years.īy 2007, Woodcliff had already been rattled pretty hard. With a rise of blighted homes in the neighborhood came a rise in the transient population. Residents fled in search of better places to live, and their homes were abandoned. Drug issues arose, bringing more crime to the neighborhood streets.Īs the crime rate grew, the neighborhood shrunk. These growing tensions, along with the housing seeing few updates moving into the 21st century brought more trouble for the future of Woodcliff. Cultural barriers and indifference between residents started to arise. Things started small, but would see a snowball effect take place as the years went on. Unfortunately, this would begin to change near the late 1980s. The area offered plenty of good jobs, and the neighborhood was quiet, and kept up quite well. Through the 1980s, this Columbus suburb remained a clean, mostly crime-free place to reside. The homes in this neighborhood were built in 1953, and at this time were a very desirable place to live and raise a family. The neighborhood of Woodcliff spans approximately 36 acres, containing over 150 condos, most of them duplexes. While it has only been vacant for a few years, many of the homes have sat empty for much longer. Within Whitehall sits the abandoned neighborhood of Woodcliff – a neighborhood which has sat entirely vacant since 2019. A short six-and-a-half miles from Ohio’s capital of Columbus sits the city of Whitehall.
