Re: 202 Hammond Street, Bangor - Release of Tax -Acquired
Interest
Dear Mr. stumpfel:
This confirms our conversation of May 10, 1993. It appears that
a portion of the land under 202-204 Hammond Street is claimed by
the City of Bangor by virtue of a tax lien or tax deeds.
The tax card for 204 Hammond Street appears to depict the entire
building on the two lots and does not differentiate between the
two different parcels of land under the building. Apparently, a
separate tax bill on 202 Banm:ond Street has not been given since
at least 1983 and no notices of tax liens against the land under
202 Hammond Street have been given to the owner or mortgagee of
record during that period of time.
I hereby request the City of Bangor, acting through appropriate
municipal officials, to deliver a release deed releasing whatever
interest the City of Bangor may have in and to the land under
202 Hammond Street, and that the tax records be corrected
accordingly.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
ve truly
win red A. Stevens
