Renovating Abandoned Homes in Sedamsville

Two once-neglected homes in Sedamsville, formerly owned by absentee landlord John Klosterman, have been fully renovated and are now ready for new owners — marking the first step in a $8 million neighborhood revitalization effort. After Klosterman lost control of 18 properties in 2023 due to $600,000 in unpaid taxes and fines, the Port Authority and Cincinnati City stepped in to transform these properties into affordable, owner-occupied homes priced between $120,000 and $180,000. This initiative aims to stop neighborhood decline by preventing large corporations from buying, profiting from, and abandoning properties — instead fostering stability, pride, and long-term community ownership.
