Developer Jeremy Killian of Level 3 Homes & Design was petitioned by the neighborhood to sell the house to another party who would be interested in renovating it, or to renovate it himself, reported Robert McCullough, president of the Eastmoreland Neighborhood Association.

Killian, who opted to proceed with demolition, has been involved in controversial real-estate dealings in the past.
