ALL RIVER — Sometimes selling off city-owned properties can have a boomerang effect. Throw them out into the redevelopment universe and, sometimes, they come back. 

Here is the status of those properties, which include the Bank Street Armory; the former Bedford Street police station; the former Davol Elementary School in the Flint neighborhood; and the Silvia School on Hartwell Street, which has boomeranged back into city ownership for now.

The city’s legal stance to take back the former police station and the Silvia and Davol schools comes from reverter clauses contained in the properties' purchase and sales agreements.
