E-mail to Mayor and Commissioners re 431 N. L. Street

Mayor, Commissioners and Staff

The e-mail below is from a neighbor that lives close to 431 N. L. Street.

I want to thank you again for being responsive in addressing the integrity of this historic structure. It really will - someday - contribute greatly to the neighborhood, but - as the picture attests - we face some obstacles in getting there.

It turns out that the alcove that is on the east side of the building, while being one of its interesting historic features, also is an attractive nuisance to the area. It provides an easy place for people to sleep and, in the process, trespass on city property.

Can you take steps to cover this opening so that this does not provide a place for people to harbor? Also, what social service agency should be contacted regarding people that do not have appropriate shelter? I would like to provide assistance in some way.

Thank you.
