Graffiti, problem apts.

[Steve Procaccini]

Howdy neighbors,  I'm not too familiar with the apartments being discussed,
but, in general, if any apartments in Maricopa County are truly in bad
condition (i.e.,  "slums"), then I believe there was a slum lord task force
which helped create new laws re: such matters.  A call to the County
Attorney's office could help, if indeed these particular apartments warrant
such action.   Thanks, Steve.
PS1 - Imho, buildings aren't the problem; people are.   Tearing down an
"innocent" building does not get to the core of the problem. 
PS2 - Good luck w/ your project, Jo.  Sounds great!  I love urban infill.
I can't wait to see it happen.

Subject: Re: Graffitti
There has also been a lot of graffitti lately near those ghetto apartments 
at 15th St. and Oak (SE corner). There are even a couple of "blank" signs on

the property itself that are covered in it. I have reported this to 
Graffitti Busters a couple of times...they've painted over the crap, but it 
soon reappears, of course. How easy for the tenants, they just have to step 
right outside their doors, spray paint can in hand!
I personally would have liked to see those apartments TORN DOWN.
