The owner of the Bangor Mall has missed another court-ordered deadline to address ongoing problems at the property.
Namdar Realty Group had until last Thursday to complete repairs under an April court order. The company also missed earlier deadlines to submit a comprehensive repair plan and pay $1.1 million in fines related to city ordinance violations.
Bangor officials say some work is underway, including repairs to corridor lights damaged by water leaks and dredging of a retention pond, but other issues remain.
The violations stem from lawsuits Bangor filed against Namdar in late 2024. One of the longest-running problems involved a leaking roof that continued for about a year and a half.
The missed deadlines come as Namdar attempts to sell the mall. A deal originally expected to close in June may now be delayed until at least September.
The mall is also facing a separate lawsuit alleging a faulty sprinkler system caused more than $1.3 million in damage to a furniture store’s inventory.
