Detroit sues HGTV’s Nicole Curtis, seeking to force renovation of her neglected Grand Boulevard home deemed a public nuisance.Summary
Detroit has filed a civil nuisance-abatement lawsuit against HGTV star Nicole Curtis and her company, Detroit Renovations LLC, over the unrenovated and hazardous property at 451 E. Grand Boulevard. The city alleges the house has accumulated numerous code violations, missing permits, unpaid fees, and blight-related fines despite previous court orders to renovate. Officials seek a judge’s declaration of the property as a public nuisance, mandatory repairs, payment of outstanding fines, and the appointment of a court‑appointed receiver to complete the work and recover costs. The suit also aims to hold Curtis personally liable, potentially exposing her to financial judgments and loss of control over the project.
