BALTIMORE — This July will mark two years since a massive sinkhole destroyed several homes along the 700 block of E. North Avenue.
Quentin Bell is one of the owners who lost everything.
For months the City denied him compensation, claiming they weren't notified of existing problems with a century-old storm drain that collapsed underneath his home.

With nowhere to turn Bell sued. On Wednesday Baltimore City's Board of Estimates finally agreed to settle with him for $250,000.
