Description

For years, now, these buildings on New Scotland, at the corner of Madison Avenue, have been allowed to completely disintegrate and negatively impact the surrounding area. People shoot up drugs, defecate in the doorways (that is human excrement in the upper left hand photo), are drunk and disorderly, cover them with graffiti, etc. It's my understanding the owner of these buildings also owns one or more of the buildings right around the corner (548, 550, 552 Madison Ave) where a number of drug addicts and dealers live and inject and sell drugs 24/7 endangering the overall community, and others who live in the buildings including older people and children. One of these buildings was the site of a recent stabbing death, right outside on a weekday afternoon. Why is this owner permitted to own property when he allows behavior and conditions that make an entire area decline and unsafe. The drug users and dealers should also be arrested and evicted. This is a well-known issue so where is Codes, the police, the Mayor, the Councilperson, and others?
