Recently the empty house next to Auntie Pasto on Beretania St. burned, it was expected as increased evidence of vandelism was seen daily making it obvious that a fire would inevitably erupt from unstable people trespassing inside and jeopardising lives and surrounding property. Yet even with HPD driving by en mass day and nite it seems none could simply stop in and make their presence known which probably would have been enuf to mollify the situation or maybe gain the arrests of those in need of such. Instead, we almost lost a historic building and the long time tenants plus maybe some lives. That's NOT serving and protecting.

Re: House burns - HPD MIA
Ron, are you 100% sure HPD never addressed the situation? What did the property owner do in an attempt to stop the vagrancy and vandalism? Then there's the possibility the property was worth more to the owner after the fire than before taking into consideration insurance. I guess I need more cited facts than you presented.

I have no idea if HPD ever did anything
but as I said it would have taken very little to virtually ensure trespassers got the word, so let me assume they didn't.
It was a real danger waiting to happen and it could have been really bad, we were very lucky this time.
And, the partially burned house is still inviting to streeters, are HPD doing anything from it reoccuring...? More action needs to be taken in incidents of abandonment instead of just leaving it to be seriously problematic.

Re: House burns - HPD MIA
I knew a year ago this house was going to burn sooner or later. Once the first window was rocked a few months ago (as in low lifes testing for response, especially when Mayor Compassion is kicking sleeping dogs) I knew that time was short and sure enuf it went up. All the detractions from my statements are valid but it's obvious who's had far more chance to prove out.

It's my neighborhood, I care about what and who is there and making it better, not worse. I'll BET if you lived next door when it went up you'd have a different take on it, just like if the Trayvon haters suddenly had him as their dead kid. One lone and inevitable fire start put the whole block at risk, most likely because not enuf people cared. Unacceptable.
Of course if the nearby McDonalds had been at similar risk there would've been a constant vigil of protection. Priorities...
I post as I wish, I'm good with it and care not who likes or doesn't.

Re: House burns - HPD MIA
Occasionally I visit HT without signing on first. Inevitably, I am reminded that the "Ignore" feature serves a great purpose, but if I'm not signed on the feature does not function. Reminder to myself: For a more positive HT experience, remember to always sign on.Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.

Remind me not to live next to you, sheesh!

Ron...a reminder...DO NOT LIVE NEXT TO ME.
