Description
Squatters are clearly using the old Badge & Pass building. They keep a chair near the West-facing door to get in and out. Plywood on the second-story windows is ajar. Drug deals are being done at the first floor windows. It's a health, fire and social hazard.

driver bit (hard to find) it would be extremly hard to break in the building and the board up pannels can be reused as can the screws as well . This would be a good standard for boardups in the future and should greatly reduce squatters reentering buildings
id demolition will take some time please spend $ on a quality boardup cameras are not keeping squatters out ...

Thank you everyone for your invaluable input. We appreciate your observations and concerns. The Badge & Pass Office (Building 513) is a high priority for the City Council and City staff. We are in the process of completing a required environmental assessment prior to demolition. Concurrently, City staff is preparing the bid documents for demolition. Until the contract is awarded, Public Works Maintenance Division crews will continue to monitor and board up the building as needed. If/when you observe the boards being pulled down or people going into the building, please call the Police Department at 707-648-4321.
The issue will be closed on SeeClickFix. As our maintenance communication tool, we use SeeClickFix to report non-emergency maintenance issues. We have (and will continue to) secure the building and have scheduled long term action (building demolition project). Even though we have Closed this issue, we do not consider it complete – this forum simply does not function as a long-term issue reporting service. Every issue reported on SeeClickFix, if not able to be corrected immediately, is scheduled for additional action, and closed.
We understand the concern about Building 513, which we share. We will keep everyone informed through our various methods of public communication, including NextDoor and the City Manager's Bi-Weekly Report. Please refer to the City website (http://bit.ly/1bkX98h) for more information on signing up for City communications.
Thank you for your patience and understanding about the complexity of this issue.

the badge and pass office Building 513 is a major social services issue , this is of County scale !!! not a local issue ,because Vallejo is vested in the County to handle social whelfare issues , if not relinquish the state and federal funds collected on our behalf
