In January, 2000 we learned that Jill and Terry Henley had sold the MacArthur apartments to Mr. Donald Seelmann.  

The new owner on Feb. 1, 2000 sent a notice to his tenants.  It looks like Mr. Seelmann followed up on the notice.  In May he evicted a major  troublemaker at 4022.  

You've no doubt seen how much cleaner the parking lot is since Mr. Seelmann got rid of the junkers there.  Perhaps you've noticed the new plantings.  The calls for service data quantify the reduction in disorder.  Here are the total calls for service at the MacArthur Apts, by quarter:

Note the dramatic improvement since Mr. Seelmann took over.  

We don't know what caused the bump in the first quarter of 2000.  We heard some reports of a couple of young tenants at the Shirley Manor with a streetside pharmaceutical sales operation.  Likewise, we don't know whether the rise at the end of 2001 is part of a trend.  The first quarter '02 data imply that it's not.. 

Here are the 2001 calls at 4014:

Date Time Address Nature
5/2/2001 18:53 4014 Intoxicated Person
10/4/2001 7:37 4014 Hit & Run Accident
10/23/2001 23:36 4014 Disorderly
11/2/2001 0:41 4014 Disorderly
11/27/2001 2:03 4014 Unnecessary Noise
12/15/2001 1:17 4014 Unnecessary Noise

And here are those at 4022:

Date Time Address Nature
1/29/2001 19:19 4022 Suspicious ??
7/24/2001 16:54 4022 Investigate: Other
7/24/2001 16:54 4022 Investigate: Other
8/18/2001 2:38 4022 Unknown
9/23/2001 20:49 4022 Suspicious
10/1/2001 13:10 4022 Wanted Person
10/8/2001 20:50 4022 Suspicious
10/26/2001 15:38 4022 Wanted Person
10/27/2001 2:15 4022 Disorderly
11/4/2001 21:34 4022 Trouble Unknown
12/3/2001 21:05 4022 Suspicious
12/10/2001 21:15 4022 Break & Enter

Even with this (apparently temporary) rise, the overall improvement is clear.

We're starting to get crime data under the new system.  The offenses reported at the MacArthur Apts also showed a nice decrease from 2000 to 2001 except at 4016.

Address 2000 2001
4014 2 1
4016 1 5
4018 1 0
4020
4022 1 0

Total

5 6

Four of the five offenses reported in 2001 at 4016 were, in fact, a pair of domestic assaults (apparently they whacked each other).  Mr. Seelman now has severed his relationship with the couple involved.

 This is excellent news!  Mr. Seelmann is turning the MacArthur Apts. into a good neighbor.  Please be sure to thank Mr. Seelmann when you see him.
