I have a happy success to announce that should go improve life on one street in the Montrose neighbourhood of Edmonton.
Thanks to speedy and decisive action by the Edmonton Police Service, a nuisance in the neighbourhood is history.
In mid-August I learned from one of my tenants that the people who rented the house next door were selling crack.
After hearing the allegations from my tenant, I talked to a couple of other neighbours who I had never met. They confirmed there had been on-going problems but they were too afraid to report the house to police since they were older women who lived alone and didn`t want to be targeted if there were repercussions. One woman said the occupants also had a prostitution business (multiple streams of income!) operating in a dilapidated bus in the back yard. I did not know about either the drugs or the tricks because while the neighbours appeared a tad unsavory, all was quiet whenever I checked on my property.
I talked to an EPS patrol constable who directed me to call a Const. Ruskin at North Division. It is her job to oversee putting drug houses in the district out of business.
Apparently she`s very good at her job because a couple of weeks later the house is now vacant, the landlord is hauling away a mountain of garbage and the bawdy bus looks like it`s getting ready to be towed away.
If you have a problem house near one of your properties in North Division, I highly recommend you call Const. Ruskin at 426.8100.
