Flap Jack Shack in limbo as Auto-Owners Insurance fights fire claim
LANSING TWP. — The owner of the Flap Jack Shack that has been closed since an April fire said the popular restaurant won't open until at least the end of February, and likely longer, because of a dispute with Auto-Owners Insurance. Owner Jozef Gjonaj said the conflict centers on who is responsible for repairs in the event of an insurance claim for the interior of the building at 3000 E. Grand River Avenue, he or building owner Sam Edye Management Co. Gjonaj leases the space from Eyde and was insured through Auto-Owners. Gjonaj said he's provided ample proof to Lansing-based Auto-Owners, including a lease agreement, that his company J&G Restaurant, Inc. is responsible for all interior repairs at the restaurant. Auto-Owners received a June 25 insurance claim for the interior damages of approximately $2.2 million, according to documents provided to the State Journal by Jeff Moss.

The company disputes that Gjonaj is responsible for the damage, despite receiving a copy of his lease and two letters from Sam Eyde Management Co., the

Lansing sues out-of-state landlord Indus Realty for code violations
LANSING — An out-of-state property owner is being sued by the city for housing code violations, this time for more than a dozen homes the city of Lansing tagged because officials say they're either unfit for human occupancy or have serious code violations. An Oct. 27 hearing is scheduled in Lansing's 54A District Court to see if Indus Realty LLC, which also goes by the name DWL Indus Realty LLC, has done any work on the properties, said Rawley Van Fossen, in charge of Lansing's code enforcement team. The company already has amassed a code enforcement paper trail that goes back for years and unpaid fines and fees that run into thousands of dollars for infractions that don't include court fees. The city has sued Indus Realty more than a dozen times since 2024, most recently in July. The State Journal was prohibited from reviewing the court files involving litigation between the city and Indus in 54A District Court despite Michigan court records being public. Court Administrator Anethia Brewer told a reporter in September that the files were not publicly available but that the court could produce the citations the city issued Indus Realty in six to eight weeks.

Pack Your Bags For This Michigan Town Where Rent Under $700 Meets An Unbeatable Quality Of Life
Somewhere between the headlines and the highway, Flint, Michigan has been quietly building something worth packing a bag for. This is a city that’s been misread for years, and the gap between its reputation and its reality is wide enough to drive a car through, which feels appropriate given that this is the city where General Motors was born.
