Description
At 1710 S. 15th Street is a victim of loitering everyday.
Access to her home is blocked by groups of young black males who sit on her step and chill. It is the nearest home with an awning for shade and a corner step to hide what they are doing. Everyday when I walk past her home after work I would see these guys just OWN this home. She is stuck in her home and left to clean up after all the trash they leave behind once they leave. She's a little old lady and it's sad to see these thugs use her property as a place to cool off after a hot day playing basketball. Empty blunt guts and beer containings are left in their wake without regard for her home.
They tagged her air conditioner unit to make their turf.

To make matters worst they urinate on her step since there is no place to pee. You can even see the urine stains to her step on google maps! THEY DON'T GIVE A CRAP!

A lot of times small-time dealers will have temporary stations in front of homes to make people think its their place. That way if anyone thinks they can burglarize the place looking for a quick score it'll be mistaken identity. That area needs a real town watch but some local groups think it's "racist" and prefer to meet amongst themselfs to complain about how the world owes these scumbags jobs. Yep, that'll get them off the stoop.

Call 911 when you see them there. You don't have to tell them anything other than there's a group of guys sitting on your neighbor's stoop. Call every time you see them. Be annoying. They'll eventually move along. 311 and the police don't monitor this site regularly, so if you want something addressed, take action. You can also call the police district directly and file a role call complaint. It requires them to drive by and check it out a certain number of times per shift. But no one is calling the cops on these guys, they're probably not going to leave anytime soon.

How easy to chill here and sit on the step and railing under the awing for shade.

Yesterday 7/10/2012 on the way to picking the Philly Carshare I use, a large group was gathered at this poor old lady's step again when there is a LARGE CITY PAID FOR PLAYGROUND directly across the street. It was at 4:22pm again when I called 911 for them to just leave before the police get there. Even when the police do drive by, they don't even get out of the car. They just yell from the car window for them to move. The across the street and go back to the CITY PAID FOR PARK BENCH under the CITY PAID FOR tree for shade.
This old lady is trapped in her home every day left to clean up after these stupid kids. They hoot and holler at every women that walks by.

Yesterday around 6:30pm they were all on this ladies step. About 8 guys just hanging on this old ladies home. She comes home from work to this group of young black teens. They use this step to smoke weed. She even left a plastic bag hanging on her metal gate so they can use, but most of the litter ends up on her sidewalk.
PPD WERE ARE YOU?

Kids from the playground still sit on this women's step EVERY DAY after school now.

As one rolls the blunt, many join everyday to pass the blunt once it's lit. EVERYDAY at 4:20pm!
The LIFE! Children across the playground learn to accept this as the normal.
