Post: Presumption of Abandonment

Posted by Apollo on 3/16/07

In the downtown there is a building that has been vacated
and empty for years. The Gas-and-Electric meters have been
cut-off. and debris has been left for years.

What creates a "presumption of abandonment"? I can confirm
that the building has been abandoned and unused for 10+
years. Is presumption of abandonment effective against a
public agency? The last titleholder was City Schools. I
would like to turn the facility to a good use.
Is there a precedent for possessing property against a
public agency?
*What about equitable estoppel?

I don't know the law library well, or else I'd be better at
looking up court cases + opinions.
