Given we have many new residents who may not have been to a Block Captains meeting and don't know how to respond when a nuisance appears on their block, here's a recap.
If there's a house on your block that is a chronic nuisance (loud noise, suspected drug dealing, kids out after curfew, people loitering in the front and back, fighting, etc.) call 911 and say the following:
"I am calling about a nuisance property and their address is ______________."
Describe the behavior and people involved. Be prepared to give specifics about Who, What, When and Where.
The best way to get a fire truck to your block party is to put your request in writing EARLY. Even doing that won't guarantee a truck depending on number of requests for that date and unpredictable but expected emergency calls that would obviously take precedence.
Block Party Ideas to help you plan a fun and exciting get together for your block.
