Photo contributed from an earlier incident at a Donald Swensrud Property, blog post by John Hoff
A Northside resident who is having issues with a property owned by Donald Swensrud at 3418 Bryant Ave. N. started Googling the aforementioned Swensrud, and in no time at all ended up at JNS Blog, reading about (inter alia) the SWAT team incident depicted above, click here for earlier story.
Many a Northsider has reached out to this blog for help, not knowing where to begin, and it's my practice to send those persons to helpful contacts in the city's political power structure and the neighborhood organizations.
But everybody has to start somewhere, right? And this blog is often the "second stop right after Google" when it comes to information about troublesome Northside landlords.
So...
I did the usual thing. Provided helpful contacts. And in the course of the discussion, somebody quickly generated a list of Swensrud properties. I realized I didn't have the list...and I usually publish lists exactly like that...(It's quite literally how this blog transformed from a personal blog to a media entity shortly after its creation)...and so I thought, well, I better publish that list.
But first here's a sample of what's being said about Donald Swensrud and his properties.
I'm told one neighbor has lived near a Swensrud property for fifteen years. In that time, they've enjoyed approximately SIX MONTHS of no incidents from rental neighbors. There have been at least two police raids and gang members appear to inhabit the place like wasps in hot barn rafters. The music is sometimes so loud police must be called more than once a day.
Here is a direct quote:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was reading the landlordpolitics.com site and it seems there might be some legal means of having his license removed. I have to point out that I don’t think Donald is a bad guy, he’s just an idiot that has no idea who he’s renting to…or doesn’t care. But I’m to the point where I think all neighborhoods, where he has a property, would be better off not having his type of tenants around.
If you know of anything that might help just let me know…appreciate it :-).

JNS blog says: I have ideas, but almost all of these revolve around a combination of talking to public officials and publishing stuff on the internet. It would be nice if there were attorneys suing on behalf of neighbors who are wronged for 15 years minus 6 months over bad next-door-renter behavior but, I ask you, where's the money in a thing like THAT?
Well, anyway...
Here's the Swensrud property list.
