RE: Lien Releases
The City of Lawrence partnered recently with Tenants to Homeowners, Inc. on two infill Housing Land Trust Projects on Laura Avenue. The projects were next door to each other and at the time of the filing of the liens, the lot numbers on the legal descriptions were switched. The easiest way to correct the problem will be to release the two liens and record new ones that are correct. TTH will take care of the paperwork and cost of the release and re-recording. Staff recommends the incorrect liens be released so corrected ones can be recorded. The addresses are 1229 and 1233 Laura Avenue.
The City Clerk will have the documents ready for the Mayor's signature. If you have further questions, please let me know.
