please fix this building

NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE ANYMORE. OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AREN'T SAFE, OUR SCHOOLS ARE DANGEROUS, OUR STREETS HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE BAD GUYS, BUILDINGS AND HOUSES TRASHED OUT, BOARDED UP, ABANDONED HOUSES AND BUILDING IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ALWAYS DECIDE IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO SOMETHING AFTER A TRAGEDY HAPPENS. PLEASE, DON'T LET A TRAGEDY HAPPEN IN THIS MESS BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. KEEP UP THE BATTLE, WE CAN'T STOP!

Does anybody have the exact address for this property? Is it 400 or 420 Pike? I work for the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and would like to look for it in our database.

If we are talking about the same property, my location when I took my pictures was on W. Pike Street between S. Roselawn and S. Shirley. This building has sit here for so long, the addresses are long gone from the buildings.
Much thanks for any assitance you can give us. If you would like to send me your e mail address, I can send you more photos, I have several. It'll knock your socks off and you'll ask WHY?
thank you,
mona hofmeister

ok, it is E. Pike and the address of those buildings are 367, 371 and 379 W. Pike. They sit between S. Roselawn and S. Shirley. Informaton came from Planning Division, City of Pontiac.
Hope this helps,
mona hofmeister

That helps. I was not able to locate those addresses in our database but am asking around to see if any other staff are aware of this site. Is there a way to send you my email without posting it to this message board?

The first building which used to be a party store has the numbers 367 on the front of building. The building that was the drycleaners has the numbers 379 on it's front. No number on the middle building but I have to assume the number is 371 just like the city's planning dept said.
Much thanks to my friend Chuck who lives in the area and didn't mind going over there in person to verify.
The doors are open and in one of the buildings, you can see daylight.

DEQ is doing an investigation on this issue
keep at it, bring it down

WOOO HOOOO!!!!!!! It's down and we are so happy after looking at this mess for so long and figureing it would fall down before it would be knocked down. Much thanks to Ms. Christy Clark, Senior Geologist, from the DEQ, for stepping in and assisting in the demolition of this property. It was getting worse by the day. Citizens Against Blight salutes and thanks you very much on behalf of the residents living in that area.

My pleasure, Mona. Thank you for being so diligent - you are an invaluable asset to your community.

Keep in touch and let me know of any other environmental concerns in your area.

Christy Clark
