Is the property currently vacant ?

I had a simliar situation when I was renovating a 6 family bldg. I experienced a lot of break-ins and lost alot of $$$$ due to vandlism and theft. The only thing that stopped the trespassers was a guard dog service I employed to protect the property during the hours when my contractors were not their.

Best of Luck,
Sterling

I have a house in the inner city of Atlanta. There are several undersirables that trespass on my property daily drinking and smoking dope.

When they see me they will dispurse, but when i leave they are right back over there. I’ve called the police, and have filed paperwork at the police precint responsible for the area my house is located, but nothing has changed.

I’m asking for any suggestions!!!

How about a surveillance camera on the property. Something that is visible with an equally visible sign reading “This Property Protected and Monitored By Surveillance Cameras”. No body wants to smoke dope on camera.

I had a friend with the same problem in Atlanta. The last time that he even looked at that house was when he was robbed and pistol whipped in the front yard after collecting over due rent.

He sold the place for somewhere short of break even just to get rid of it.

Hey WF,

I used to live in the NYC area. The Co-op’s I lived in had the same probs. They used to sleep on the benches we had out there all night.

We used to bug the cops on a nightly basis until the problem was solved. Maybe it will help if you keep calling about this problem. Be a real pain in the ass.

Best of luck,
