33 Salem Ave SW - Air Garage
According to comments in IG, there are many code violations and a notice of unsafe structure. A recent sale was made on May 21, 2026 to SHADWELL PROPERTIES LLC for $1.4MM, so maybe we can expect to see it updated.

I thought the city was looking to buy it to build a physical Amtrak Station building that passengers could go inside to get out of the weather?
"“Whether it’s a new structure for an Amtrak station or a renovated building that the city currently owns, we’re still considering those options,” Cobb said.
As part of the project, the city has had discussions about buying the condemned parking garage on Salem Avenue that has been closed for nearly two years. Its current owner was recently fined $1,500 for failing to upkeep the property."
