On Nov. 7 in Cayuga County Supreme Court, the city filed a summons requiring owner Schines Theater LLC to serve notice within 30 days that the historic art deco theater is not abandoned.

The summons was served that day, giving the Schine owner until the end of the first week of December to respond. If not, the summons says, the city will move to take possession of the theater.

The summons follows a July certificate of abandonment the city posted in the door of the theater. According to the certificate, the city issued it because the theater is uninhabitable and "structurally unsound," because it illegally remains open and unguarded, and because the 16 South St. property has several dangerous code violations that haven't been addressed for more than a year.聽

The city removed the posting, and paused its legal action, after Schines Theater LLC's Bryan Bowers responded by meeting with city and state officials in September. He has not responded to the city since then, Auburn Mayor Jimmy Giannettino told 人兽性交 on Friday. That's why Giannettino does not intend to pause the city's legal action again, no matter how Bowers responds this time.

"I'm one of five (members of City Council), but I'm personally past that point," Giannettino said. "We've given him every opportunity, and been very patient and understanding."

Giannettino also noted the $20,977.98 in city, county and school district taxes that Bowers owes on the theater property. Another source of frustration, the mayor said, is the $2.2 million in unclaimed state grants the Schine project has qualified for. City staff worked hard applying for them, he continued, and the grants remaining unclaimed after more than five years reflects negatively on Auburn.

Ideally, Giannettino said, the city will find a buyer for the Schine, and the $1 million Restore New York and $1.2 million CNY Regional Economic Development Council grants will transfer to them. Empire State Development's Dan Kolinski, who attended the September meeting, has told city officials that is a possibility. Otherwise, the city would try to transfer the grants to another Auburn project.聽

The city's move to take possession of the Schine from Bowers comes after about five years of inactivity there by the owner of East Syracuse firm Bowers Development. He oversaw the remediation of the theater's asbestos shortly after buying it for $15,000 from the Cayuga County Arts Council in 2018, supported by $800,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds allocated by the city.

Since then, visible improvements to the theater have been minimal. Bowers blamed an inability to secure bank financing during a presentation to Auburn City Council in June 2022, which Giannettino said was understandable due to COVID-19. The developer then said he would restore the theater's marquee, and return to City Council for another public update, that fall. But neither has yet to happen.

Bowers has said he would rehabilitate the Schine into a multipurpose event and entertainment facility at a cost of $6 million. He did not respond to a request for comment by 人兽性交.

The developer's troubles in Auburn join ones in other central New York cities. Utica's code enforcement office has him tickets due to similar inactivity at historic properties he owns there, and Syracuse is seeking a court order to take over from Bowers the demolition of a brick warehouse there. this week that he has not complied with orders to demolish it earlier.
