FRAZER TOWNSHIP, Pa. — The owners of Pittsburgh Mills Mall have a couple of months to pay $11.5 million in taxes or it will go up for sheriff’s sale.

Frazer Township says Namdar Realty Group last paid the special assessment taxes in 2019.

Township secretary, Lori Ziencik, tells Channel 11, “Because of them, we must initiate sheriff sale. The township’s position is that it is unfortunate that the situation has occurred that once again you have a mall owned by an absentee landlord that is neglecting their financial responsibility, their building, and the roads around the entire complex.”

The mall owners have until Oct. 2 to pay the taxes, or it will go up for sheriff’s sale. Lawyers for the township say it will be up to the new owners to decide what happens to current tenants.

We reached out to Namdar Realty and they replied, saying they received our request for comment.
