Drug deals in next door condo

I suspect druguse by tenants next door to me.

No construction use of the condo at the daytime, only from 10:00 pm to 4:00 am.

I've called the police, and they sometimes come out, but it's been 7 calls in 120 days. They take the report and say they come by and knock on my next door neighbors door, but no answer, so they leave and make no official report. Tenant doesn't work next door, but maybe in the process of evic;tion. HOA meetings won't reveal anything about the status of this tenant.

Thus, even though I keep records of the calls, and forwards emails to the Property management company of my association, nothing is being done and the police don't take my calls seriously, nor does the PMA.

Do I have other places I can go for help? I'm the spokesperson for many members of my community.

If you are the spokesperson for a large group. Ask the local preceint commander to meet with you or your group.

Express your concerns, present your evidence and ask for action. If you don't get any go up the line.

nourish agrees: HOA knows. Local Phx Police aware. Owner aware. Nobody is talking, it's a waiting game.

what evidence do you have? you can't simply get the police involved purely on suspicion.

nourish agrees: Thank you. If use was the only issue, but actually it's dealing or cooking I suspect.

Hello nourish:

Victor is right on. The cops come by. They knock on their door. What more do you want the cops to do - break in, stake the place out, bring in the SWAT team, start an investigation?????

ALL this, because YOU suspect something........???????? Dude, you’ve been watching entirely too much TV.

Thank God we live in America where snoopy neighbors aren't in charge of the jail house door.

Next time there is a valid reason to call ask the police to request the door be unlocked and explain what you told us above.

We are having a similar problem, there is an apartment 3 floors down that has parties on weeknights till 3-4 am and the police get called but they turn off the music and dont answer the door. The landlords even tell the police no one lives there each time, we think it's members of their family that they let live there for free. It took 3 apartments complaining to the police one night before they forced the landlords get the keys and went in there. I dont know how they explained their way out of it but the apartment is still occupied, not sure if its the same people tho.

excon agrees: Here's a greenie, lowtax. But, here in America, we don't have to open the door when a cop shows up, EVEN IF HE REQUESTS IT. I like it like that.
nourish agrees: Personal experience. Appears - again - takes time as I believe owner is takiing action.

Okay, replies have been coming. Thanks for the input.

With drug use, comes blight. Persons working on cars only at night who DON'T live in the complex. NOT COOL. The TRASH of NON-OWNERS slewed around the parking lot? NOT COOL.

Let me rephrase my original and ask... WHAT ABOUT THE PROGRESSIVE CRIME>>> Yes Martha, trash in my parking lot and not in the dumpster 20 ft away is a crime! Yes George, unauthorized car engine rebuilt work with subsequent 2 quarts of oil and sludge left on the parking space in a complex where THEY are not residents... that is a crime.

excon agrees: Call Sheriff Joe. He'll throw 'em in tent, make 'em wear pink, and give 'em green baloney.

"Tenant" Do you mean resident (person or persons that actually own the condo) or is it being occupied by someone who is actually a tenant (a person renting from the owner)? If it is a tenant, have you contacted the owner of the condo?

Comments on this post
nourish agrees: Owner versus tenant. yes... I did... appears the process takes a long time!

I guess I am a little dense. My question was "Is this person a tenant or the owner of the condo. " I read your answer, and I still don't know if the occupant is the tenant or the owner. This makes a difference. Can you answer the question again. Is the occupant of the condo the owner of the condo or is the person paying rent and is actually a tenant?

nourish disagrees: You obviously think blight and harassment by noise is acceptable.

none of this was evident in your original posting. while this can be a consequence of the activity, that doesnt mean we should assume anything that wasnt in your original post. next time try to be more clear.

and i think understanding both sides helps you understand the limitations and your options.

Comments on this post
nourish agrees: thank you. Your reply as is the case on this site, is helpful, otherwise, why ask in the spirit of service. I will be more careful on my posts. Emotions are a strong thing.

I've reviewed county court systems records for days. The neighbor in this post has been served a forcible detainer hearing, and has already setup the first continuance. The sensitivity of others is always an issue, and I believe in individualism and privacy rules and restrictions. Unfortunately, I am now on the other side of the issue, and it becomes clear every day how I would want to be treated if the shoe is on the other foot.

Thank you all for the expressions and opinions. Again, I wouldn't ask if I didn't want honest appraisal. I remain teachable to the expertise of others.
