Drugs dealers trespassing on the property

[Aqil Dharamsey]

Hey BP community - so here’s the issue I am facing with my duplex in ROCHESTER NY. I own a property next to a grocery store. Lately there has been some groups of dealers selling drugs on the corner and at times they come and hang out on my front porch. I already lost a really good long time tenant to this situation. I have gotten the police and the commissioners office involved and even had conference calls with them to eradicate this situation and have not gotten anywhere. They keep promising they will do something about it and nothing in the last 90

Days. Now I am thinking of dumping the property and getting out of it but can’t even find a decent buyer because everyone that comes to see it is intimidated by the crowd.

Any advice will be helpful and also if someone knows anyone at the RPD that can assist will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Put up motion sensor flood lights and many big security cameras, especially covering all the porch and edges of the property where one would enter.  Put the cameras outside in plain site, and also in the windows too.  Make sure they record to a website/cloud and not a tape that can be taken.  Ask the neighbors if they would like to put some up too.  Offer to install if they pay for them.  

Give the cops the recordings so they have evidence of the drug deals and hopefully they will send an undercover agent to buy and pick up the trash.

Drug dealers just hate the light and being recorded.
