A community land trust takes root in the Bronx

A fire engulfed an unoccupied two-story house at 2275 Loring Place N., in December 2007, reducing it to rubble, leaving a vacant lot sandwiched between colonial-style homes in University Heights. Within eight years, the property landed on the borough’s delinquency list and became eligible for the tax lien sale, ultimately entering in rem foreclosure a year later.
