  • I’m going to save you the time and money. Homeless people have taken over that building. They live in there. Put the pieces together. Also, why is this building still up and not demolished ? Last but not least , don’t blame the homeless , blame the cops who see them go into the building and not do nothing about. I have personally witnessed homeless going in and cops just watching.

    • Ther cops also allow the homelss/ drug dealers to live in the abandoned building at 2020 E 1st street. As an Uber driver I have seen many people going into the boarded up building. This is a huge abandoned building and I really wonder why the police allow this to take place!
