KMTV has been covering this abandoned hotel near 108th and L for years. We’ve uncovered that since 2018, the Douglas County Treasurer’s Office shows that the owners have struggled to pay their property taxes, often delayed in paying by one-to-two years. 2023 taxes still haven’t been paid.
Nearby business owner and audio engineer Joe Wolf has been a hotel neighbor for over 10 years. He said he’s not surprised by the news.
“They certainly haven’t put money into the building, so why bother paying the taxes,” said Wolf.
Wolf said he’s only seen this building go downhill over the years.
“The condition of the building is on the hands of the owner. They really should be responsible for taking care of their mess. It’s not right for the citizens of Omaha to deal with this,” he said.
Carlisle Senior Living LLC., owns the property. Court documents show it filed for bankruptcy in Nebraska earlier this year. Case documents reveal that, other than a mortgage, creditors included Douglas County, the State of Nebraska, and the IRS.
