The 2100 Larimer St. building as seen on July 29, 2024. Part of the building’s roof fell in February. Since 2001, Cherie DuFour has co-owned Herb’s, a nightclub two blocks from Coors Field in Denver that dates to the 1930s.
The city of Denver agrees, at least in a general sense. Last week, the city placed the property on its “neglected and derelict building list,” which is reserved for structures that city inspectors identify as “unsafe, nuisance, habitually in violation of city codes” or behind on property taxes.
In 2022, the piano bar Howl at the Moon said it had signed a 10-year lease for the building’s ground floor and basement. But the bar never moved in, and no work has been done to the building. But nothing has happened at 2100 Larimer St. After the pandemic set in, Ballpark became a hotspot for illegal homeless encampments. Last year, a Monfort executive was attacked by a dog outside the building. In February, a portion of the building’s roof caved in on the street. No one was injured.
The 2100 Larimer building was added to the city’s neglected buildings list following complaints from neighbors, according to Alexandra Foster, a spokeswoman for Denver’s Community Planning and Development department. In the emails, Franz and Jünker discussed firms that would power wash, paint, clean and secure the building.
She called the building “a huge safety issue for everyday patrons trying to be down here.” Denver police didn’t respond by press time to a records request regarding how often officers have responded to the property.
