455 Q Street NW.

Neighbors has been complaining about this perpetual eye sore. City officials have yet to take action despite problems associated with this vacant property, just to the north of the KIPP school, being a magnet and haven for crime. The front yard is a mess, the front door ajar, people have broken into
the house through the 2nd floor. A unlocked and open door is an invitation for the many homeless vagrants, former offenders and sex offenders, thieves (and God knows who) -- that pass through our community every day as they take advantage of local services -- to squat, engage in crime, illicit drug use, stash weapons, hide and escape from MPD pursuit, and/or start fires. Properties like this only make things more difficult for others in the community who want to maintain and clean and safe neighborhood.
