The owners of Metro West have asked a judge to stop the demolition of 17 apartment buildings at the West Side complex.
Attorneys for the owners filed for a temporary restraining order on Friday in federal court in Columbus against Prairie Township, which plans to have the vacant buildings demolished within the next two weeks.
Columbus attorney Robert Behal represents Metro Wests owners limited-liability partnerships the Wingates of Washington, D.C., and Showgates of New York.
Behal said his clients contend that the state law that allows the townships demolition order does not provide for an appeal, which violates their due process.
Prairie Township Administrator Tracy Hatmaker said the 17 buildings contain 408 units and are wholly in Prairie Township. The remaining five buildings are either partly or wholly in Franklin Township. The buildings are the original Californian section of the old Lincoln Park West on Georgesville Road across from the Hollywood Casino Columbus.
The township said it stepped up its effort in 2008 to have the owners bring the buildings into compliance with safety and building codes but with no success. In July, township fire and building officials asked the trustees to take action.
Hatmaker said the owners had until Dec. 10 to either begin demolition or be working with a buyer. Neither happened, he said.
We do not trust them to do anything constructive with the land, Hatmaker said.
The demolition cost of $2 million will be paid by the Columbus land bank and the state attorney generals offices fund to demolish vacant buildings.

Burnley households 4,400 bill in wall row
1:10pm Monday 3rd February 2014 in News
RESIDENTS in a Burnley street have been asked to find more than 4,400 each as part of a long-running row over a retaining wall.
Lancashire County Council wants to impose the levy on households in Chestnut Rise, off Springfield Road, to settle a 141,714 repair bill.
Now the angry residents are planning a campaign to take over the management company responsible for the walls upkeep.
The borough councils environment director, Jo Turton, said in a report that repairs to the unsafe wall were carried out in December 2008 by the authority, more than three years after a notice had been served on Chestnut Rise Management Company Ltd. But despite several invoices being raised with the Essex-based firm, the county council said no cash had been received to cover the debt.
Highways and transport cabinet member Coun John Fillis has now approved a proposal for the 32 homes to make repayments over a 20-year period.
Mrs Turton added: Residents who are paying towards the expenses of the wall seek not to have their charge levied on their particular property.
They seem to be unaware that the management company was not passing monies to the county council."
The county council has insisted that it needs to impose the charge to protect its own interests, after repeated efforts to seek recompense from the management company proved to be fruitless.

A road improvement project proposed by the state would close a major thoroughfare in Weston for two straight months in 2015.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation will conduct a public informational meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 5 (snow date Feb. 19), regarding the proposed retaining wall replacement project on Route 53 (Newtown Turnpike) in the vicinity of the Weston Racquet Club.
The racquet club is north of Godfrey Road and south of Valley Forge Road.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Meeting Room at Weston Town Hall.
Department personnel will be available at to answer questions prior to a formal design presentation at 7 p.m.
The DOT is proposing the project (identified as State Project No. 157-84) to improve safety on the road by constructing an L-type concrete retaining wall in front of the existing metal bin retaining wall that has been determined to be in poor condition.
The design phase is expected to be completed this summer, with construction taking place in summer 2015.
According to a description on the DOT website, the exposed face of the proposed retaining wall would consist of a simulated stone pattern on the upper section as an aesthetic treatment, while the lower section would consist of a safety shape concrete barrier. It is also proposed to install an underdrain drainage system to address potential groundwater issues. Full-depth reconstruction of the affected roadway would be required after the wall construction.
The project would require a full road closure for approximately two months (July and August), and may affect underground utilities. State routes would be designated as the official detours.
The estimated construction cost for the project covered entirely by state funds is approximately $1.8 million.
