Why isn't this guy in an appropriate facility by now? And do we even have an ANC for this block. This really shouldn't be that hard, I'm sure one of the 30+ Ward 8 counsel wannabe's will fix it permanently once we go public and make it a campaign issue, since it's been 10+ years that nobody has been competent enough to fix this and they want to lead the ward? I say we make some very news worthy noise about it.

I'm with it, but I don't know who to get in contact with to demolish this continuos problem. Cops won't do anything. The city takes a month or 2 to actually come clean it. I'll have to do some more research

This is going to have to start with the ANC Commissioner of that area. They are the voice for the community and this behavior has been on-going for some time. Trust when I say that they see this issue which should not be accepted within the community as a whole. Maybe this issue should be brought to Marcus Batchelor attention who appear to be very involved in assisting with community concerns. This is sad because it plays a huge part of the on-going blight and neglect that's occurring within the same corridors of Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE.

I found the ANC for my area, and just sent her an e-mail about this issue, as well as reporting this issue to 311, so now I shall see what the outcome leads to

And thank you for the information, Commissioner Henderson

Yea, it will be interesting to see what if anything happens this time. Please keep me posted as well, I live on Malcolm X (202) and have worked with police, spoke with caregiver etc. Police kept it "cleaner" for a while, but I demanded a permanent fix and everyone just seemed flat on their feet, or too incompetent to make it happen. I do think we will have to go above anyone in this community to get a permanent solution. I'm will to do whatever it takes.

Progression has been made! The cops finally have this patient in handcuffs 😀😀 After years, something is finally being done to this person. Feels like a weight lifted off my shoulder

Awesome.......thanks for being part of the solution instead of the problem!

Unbelievable! Big step forward. They told me to catch him in the act and send pictures last year, and I did. Then came more excuses of why they would have to just release him back to the community and they did, so lets hope he gets the permanent supervision he needs in an appropriate environment this time. No more mini-landfill for now, Thanks Corey!

Yeah, they'll more than likely release him back to the community, asap, but I don't have any problem being a pain to the city/311 as the man is a pain to our neighborhood. It's still a shame that more people don't get involved to make our area look better, and just ride past this stuff like it belongs here. 😔 *Moves definitely would be made in NW if those drunks & addicts hung around, ALL DAY*...Just a spark for violence, but that'll a new mission to finally get attention.

The fact that someone else cares and is as bothered by it as me, is enough motivation. I'll admit I got wary after bringing it up at ANC meetings and people saying well he's a mentally ill Veteran, I'm a 21 year retired Combat Vet too, so all the more troubling that his "supervisor" seemed reluctant to explore permanent options. That's when I teamed with Officer Hopkins at 7th district and he got a detail and trailer to cleaned the place up, but informed me that I would need pictures or video for an arrest which would likely be just a few days detainment and he'd be released right back to the community (It's happened before). So for the last 3 years I have been a thorn to 311 and 7th district trying to wear them down. I also reported to DCRA that a mini-landfill is illegally established beside a restaurant being Popeyes before it closed. All that said, my next option was News channel 8, however I would like to have more neighbors organized around the issue before they come out. But Corey, I will reengage with 311/MPD since I know you are doing the same and let's see if we can't get a permanent fix. Thank you soooo much, breath of fresh air! And who knows maybe they will find a solution this time and he won't be back, fingers crossed :)

COMPLETED ....CLOSED
