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..

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.

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.
