No one is doing anything to stop the practice or the blight that tries to swallow up decent communities. No one meaning those that have been given all the pertinent information, contact numbers, photos etc. to make a change, but instead turn the other way, give advance warnings of upcoming inspections etc. there is too much money being passed around by foreigners coming into blighted areas and add to the rape and further decline as those of us struggle to renovate and improve the quality of life in this area.

Violations at this house are numerous...but don't hold your breath for anything to be done.

North ave is filled with former inmates, prostitutes, drug houses, violet sex offenders, child molesters they sometimes report and then again fall into the shadows. The entire street from Poe to Gladstone needs to be investigated for every crime known to man.

Have you reported this house before? How do you happen to know there are thirty eight illegal boarding houses?

Your concern has been received and forwarded to the Department of Community Development (CRS#20020959726) so that proper inspection and handling can take place accordingly. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at 804-646-7000. We appreciate your communication that helps us in “Building The Best Richmond” together.

We studied, patrolled, and canvassed this area for two solid years 2012-2013. Though we became discouraged we still maintain an eye on who comes, goes and what properties are added to the fold. Check with the Attorney Generals office ..though I doubt you'll get far..it all boils down to money, favors, bribes..it's still alive and kicking, but police are doing an excellent job of clearing out the less than desirables. Keep up your watch in you area. Be mindful of who you tangle with..keep a low profile.

An inspector has responded to your concerns and is taking actions to address the problem. For further details call 804-646-6398. - MT 12/22/14
