The mayoral campaign for Corey Ellis has compiled a list of more than 150 buildings that do not appear on the city's official Vacant Buildings Registry but yet look, well, vacant. The campaign is making no claim that these buildings are vacant, rather that they appear to be, noting that there is reason to be suspicious of the mayor's campaign-year claim that he has reduced the number of vacant and abandoned buildings in the city by more than 300.
Check out the list of buildings for yourself:

This list is nowhere near complete or up to date. I've had a vacant building next to me for five years and it's not here.

Hi Wanda. Does the vacant building that is next door to you appear on the city's VBR? Here is a link to the second quarter report:
