View Comments
Tall grass swayed in the breeze in front of the house at 451 E. Grand Blvd. Saturday, during a press conference called by HGTV star Nicole Curtis, who won the rundown home in a court battle earlier this month.
Curtis, host of Rehab Addict, and her attorney, Jim Rasor of Royal Oak, said they wanted to call attention to what they called abuses by the Detroit Land Bank Authority, which claimed ownership of the house after Curtis had purchased it in 2017.
Curtis also invited the public to attend an open house at the home starting at noon on Sunday, and mounted an American flag on the front porch in recognition of the Memorial Day weekend.

DETROIT – The star of HGTV’s “Rehab Addict Rescue” has won a dispute with Detroit over ownership of a blighted home.
Nicole Curtis said she has spent at least $60,000 to start fixing up the home after buying it from a couple for $17,000. But the Detroit Land Bank Authority stepped forward and said it was the actual legal owner.
Wayne County Judge Tim Kenny ruled in Curtis’ favor, saying her renovation group had recorded a title to the property before the Land Bank did, The Detroit News reported Friday.
The body was bloated and decomposed but there was no sign of anything suspicious. We re going to have to wait to see what the M.E. finds out during the autopsy and then we ll go from there, said police Capt. Richard Maierle, referring to the local medical examiner.
He said a cemetery employee who was fishing at the pond didn t notice the body Saturday. The pond is 45 feet deep.
