Tired of passing ugly houses and putting up with delinquent homeowners in your neighborhood? If so, there are many ways to remedy the problem.

Mr. Roy Eidem, Richmond’s community development operations manager, will be holding a meeting with the Highland Park Neighborhood Watch Association to discuss options for ridding the area of vacant homes.

We’ll be meeting at the end of the week with Mr. Roy Eidem . . . to discuss previous CAP efforts and trying to come up with new strategies to help the problem.  Rather than just contact the home owners to get on them about their properties, we want to offer them options.

Mr. Eidem has asked that we give him the addresses of the houses that are troubling to us so that he can pull information on those houses before we meet.  So please review the houses in your area and send me the addresses of any houses you would like to put on list.

For more information contact HPNeighborsWatch@aol.com.

Another excellent website includes the Richmond Department of Community Development website:(http://www.richmondgov.com/departments/communityDev/index.aspx) The site provides numerous contacts, including a link to the Vacant Building Registry. Finally, check out A.C.O.R.N. (Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods). They are an organization that works to restore and renovate vacant homes.
