See the page on Chamberlayne Avenue for background on the really ugly crime problem on Chamberlayne. The four blocks adjacent to our neighborhood look to be the engine that is driving the crime problem throughout the whole area. The calls for service and the offense data and arrest data identify the problems, mostly in apartment complexes. We have data on some that are particularly interesting:
The Ginter Park folks, led by Norma Murdoch-Kitt and Meg Lawrence of the Ginter Park Residents Association are fighting the Good Fight. Notable among the results is the indictments and plea at 3916 Chamberlayne. Unfortunately, the place still is a serious problem.
We have a discussion of civil remedies available to deal with properties that are public nuisances.
We have correspondence with HUD about the use of Section 8 housing subsidies to support landlords on Chamberlayne who are allowing unacceptable crime and disorder on the property to threaten their tenants and the neighborhood.
We also have news of the Chamberlayne Avenue Study.
Stay tuned.
