What sustains us in our battle to revitalize North Minneapolis? Sticky rice from Bangkok Market!
If you go to the part 19 seconds into this video, click here, you would get a sort of auditory representation of the "sound of alarm" spreading through police, regulatory agencies, the neighborhood organization over the developing situation at 3007 3rd St. N...
I've seen the flurry of emails, but I don't have copies. One neighborhood leader said it appeared "sadistic plans" were being laid to create drug customers at the apartment complex next door to 3007 3rd St. N. (Late at night, with lights on and newspaper taped over a window, the house at 3007 ALREADY looks like it may be occupied though heaven knows if it has plumbing) A city official said he/she feared the residents of 3rd Street North would be "terrorized" like the residents of 6th St. N. had been, by drug and prostitution activity.
ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD MOVERS AND SHAKERS who need to be involved in this matter are involved, and a regulatory services vehicle was seen at the property just this morning.
I'd like to point out all this activity started with a single anonymous comment on this blog, pointing out Evannor Haymon now owns that property. Gee, imagine what this neighborhood could accomplish if we could actually SEARCH PROPERTIES BY NAME OF OWNER on the clunky City of Minneapolis property website? Like city officials can?
WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THIS SITUATION BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2008!!!!!
JNS, we've been able to search the city property database for owner's names for years. We used it in Jordan from our web-enabled cell phones while out on neighborhood patrol. We'd go to the web when we found a problem, look up the owner and call him/her (the number was usually listed on the valuation page where the rental contact phone number was given).
ReplyDeleteMaybe I didn't make my posting clear enough, so thanks for the opportunity to clarify: yes, of course you can go to a property address and find the owner. We use THAT all the time.
ReplyDeleteHere's what you CAN'T do on the city of Minneapolis website: you can't punch in a name like "Evanner Haymon" and find all the properties he owns. City officials can do this. Citizens can't.
