But when the bulldozers arrived at a property on Boone Court off Owens Street and Briggs Avenue, the family was there to protest. It went to court and got a 10-day injunction to stop the demolition.

The city says the homes have been condemned for at least a year, and it's not the first time it's had to demolish a Haskell property because of similar problems.
A Haskell family member says they feel they're being unfairly targeted because they're an African-American owned company.
