Reply to comment by dazzleox in Gainey is set to unveil plans to challenge the tax-exempt status of more than a dozen properties in the city, including UPMC and a Propel School on the North Side by sugarandspice85

it looks like individual parcels rather than the hospital system itself. I guess they figure they may be more successful that way...

It gives a chance to escalate during possible negotiations too imho.

Some really interesting stuff from the list of parcels: one is owned by a fired cop convicted of sexual abuse. I have no clue how it got non profit status. Another is a museum that seems mostly to be a wedding venue and another is a private swimming pool in a development. This is only after auditing the first 10% of properties.

Thanks. Mr. Property LLC seems legit non profit.

Those listed as private owner are mostly single family homes or vacant lots. Curious to see how/why they were ever listed as tax exempt.

That's amazing. No idea. It sounds like this is just one round of many to come. Good for Gainey for thinking a bit outside of the box. The previous 2 mayors tried to go head to head with UPMC and got nowhere. This will at least start to provide some more tax revenue and begin to move the needle..
