S. Portland Home Vandalized

[northside lurker]

There are a couple houses on S. Lakeview that have a couple boarded up windows.  One looks like it has been vacant for some time, but another was just lived in recently, and is now for sale.  I hope we can keep this under control. (though I don't really have any ideas about how--except keeping a vigilant watch)

I just moved to that neighborhood 4 years ago, and there were no boarded up houses south of Mahoning.

Several weeks ago someone set fire to the garage at the very end of S. Portland in the wee hours ...not a vacant house but adjacent to the park.  The sirens woke me so I went to my favorite fire department website to listen to the scanner.  I wondered if the northside firebug had gone west. At least 3 vacant homes on N. Portand have been seriously vandalized.   One just the other day.  They took out a stained glass window during the day - this after being caught and chased off by a neighbor.

A vacant home on South Portland was vandalized a few days ago.  The picture window and several smaller first floor windows were smashed.   The house has been boarded to prevent further damage.
