Rumors Of "Emergency Boarding Powers"

Part of the garage door at 400 30th Ave. N. was kicked out, but it didn't take long for boards to appear. The "official paper" on the boards looks quite different than the usual stuff from Castrejon, Inc.

In a discussion about another house, 430 30th Ave. N.--where a cat was trapped inside, but a bunch of phone calls and emails brought animal rescue--I heard from Jeff Skrenes that city inspectors now have "emergency boarding powers." This was how 430 30th Ave. N. got boarded up so quickly when squatters were found there. (But nobody noticed the cat until "Little Jane" saw the animal, threw some food in a window, and raised heck about it until somebody came to remove the animal)

In any case, the rumors of "emergency boarding power" are interesting, and I hope all my pushing and public acts of "volunteer boarding" had an impact.
