Detroit Police Department - CL

There are two blighted vehicles in the rear of this location, 12027 Asbury Park. The vehicles are a gold Lincoln Navigator with an expired license plate, and a black Ford Taurus with no license plate. A report was made about the vehicles being abandoned on the street. The vehicles were tagged as Aband by Detroit Police on 3-15-2019, and as of 3-18-2019, the vehicles were removed from the street, and parked behind this address, which is private property. A second complaint has been made to Detroit Police about the vehicles being left behind a vacant home.

I recently towed two abandoned vehicles from this location. While at the location, I can see that there are dismantled vehicles in the backyard of this privately owned residence. There is a Cadillac Escalade which has been stripped of it's engine, transmission and front end; there are the remains of a Ford 4.6L V8 truck engine and chassis on the ground next to it. Several assorted car parts on the ground. Also two older model GM cars between the fence line and the house.

Deceased dog laying on front yard of location at the curb.

There is an abandoned beige motor home in this vacant lot. The vehicle was tagged on 5-25-2018 to be removed by 5-27-2018. As of a follow up on 5-31-2018, the vehicle is still there.

There are at least three blighted vehicles on this vacant home's driveway. The property is owned by a private citizen, who is a known commercial auto dealer. One vehicle is a pickup truck, stripped of the engine, transmission and wheels. One vehicle is a newer Chevy sedan that appears totaled from accident damage. The vehicles were tagged for abandonment, and the owner blocked the vehicles in with a third large white truck. At this time, since the vehicles are on private property, they can not be removed at this time by the police.

There is trash and debris covering the driveway and in the garage of this vacant dwelling (City of Detroit Land Bank owned). There is a red Chrysler Sebring that appears to be stolen in the garage of the location, covered by the trash (building materials, household materials, etc.). Can we remove the debris, so that Detroit Police can access and remove the vehicle from the garage?

There are five-six cars, an old commercial delivery truck and a boat in this vacant lot. The vehicles appear to be inoperable, and do not have valid license plates. At least one has accident damage. Per a check of public records, the land is privately owned by the same owner of the occupied dwelling next door at 12310 Jane.

Red 1999 Chrysler Town & Country minivan on the front lawn, no license plate on it, been there long enough for weeds to grow around it and it appears inoperable. I investigated it on 11-30-17. It is not reported stolen, but it is on private property. I received a complaint from a neighbor on the blight violation.

This concern was reported to DPD Abandoned Vehicle Task Force by the Mayors Office. I investigated this matter on 11-13-2017. There were six vehicles sitting on the vacant lot, none of them with valid license plates. Some of the vehicles were visibly inoperable (missing wheels and tires). I checked the public records, and it showed the land as being owned by the City of Detroit Land Bank Authority. As I was investigating the vehicles, an occupant of the occupied dwelling next door approached me and stated that he owns this vacant lot and that the lot is private property. If this matter is investigated, and it is determined that the land is in fact owned by the City of Detroit, please re-assign it to Detroit Police Department -CL (whether a blight violation is issued or not). Thank you!

Multiple (8-10) junk cars on two vacant lots, many with no plates or expired plates. Public records show this is Land Bank owned property, but an unknown male at the location says he bought the land a few months ago. If it can be confirmed this is Land Bank property, please reassign to DPD Aband.
