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.

One week after a violence-marred demolition that saw more than 20 injured, several residents continued to defy authorities by maintaining their shanties along Agham Road in Quezon City.
At least 50 shanties were still standing at the center island of Agham Road as of 4 a.m. Monday, radio dzBB's Allan Gatus reported.
While many of the families in the area had agreed to be relocated to Rizal, others chose to stay since their place of work was nearby, the report said.
On the other hand, the report said some militant groups urged the residents to think twice before relocating and to consider if their relocation sites have the basic amenities.
Last week, violence marred the demolition of the shanties, where residents threw objects ranging from rocks to bags with excrement at the demolition team.

Almost one ton of explosives inserted into 1,500 drilled holes were used on Sunday to raze the so-called "AfE Turm" ("AfE Tower"), standing at 116 meters (381 ft).
Police estimate that more than 10,000 people gathered in the center of Germany's financial hub Frankfurt to watch the spectacular demolition. The building is the highest-ever in Europe to have been demolished using explosives.
Explosives expert Eduard Reisch was in charge of blowing up the 50,000-ton skyscraper, which was completed in 1972.
"It is almost 100% possible to blow up such a building without hurting people or neighboring buildings," Reisch said before the explosion. Barriers of up to six-meters-high (6.6 yards) were erected around the skyscraper to prevent any damage to nearby constructions.
Water canisters, each containing 1,000 liters (264 gallons), were blown up along with the building to stop too much dust being produced. The whole area was sealed off, with 500 security helpers in attendance.
The AfE Tower until recently housed facilities of the department of social sciences and education at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University. It was briefly the tallest building in Frankfurt.
Two new high-rise office buildings are to be constructed on the site.
