The lawsuit, which alleges an "abuse of power" by city officials, seeks to block that designation andBank and Milstein claim the property does not fit the historic cultural monument criteria because it's been lived in by 14 owners and had other remodels since Monroe's death more than 60 years ago. After receiving numerous complaints about the planned demolition, City Councilwoman Traci Park announced in September an effort to save the house by initiating a historic-cultural monument application. The application has been working its way through the city process, receiving approval in January from the Cultural Heritage Commission and later from the council's Planning and Land Use Management Committee.
The suit alleges the city's action have caused "irreparable" harm to the building's owners and robbed them of "their vested rights as owners of real property."Bank and Milstein have owned the structure since July 2023 and subsequently obtained a demolition permit from the city.
