Working to create better neighborhoods

A complaint from the District 1 Hot line directed the Elect Ben Holder Project to the corner of Union and Gregory Street in Glenwood. The area was occupied by three big eyesores. One of the houses (not pictured) was open and on bricks. I saw at least one person scurry out of the house and heard that many used the house as a crack cocaine smoking location.

The other two houses on the corner were closed but someone had written "crack house" on them. It was and continues to be a burden to the surrounding area. I began to communicate with city staff to request immediate assistance. Today, the house on bricks that was once a crack smoking location is now secured and boarded shut. Tomorrow, I will make an official complaint and report the "crack house" written on the two houses as graffiti. Hopefully, it will be removed soon!
