Starting last Mon, Sept 22nd and continuing into the week, the city had lots of personnel at the towers with APD, code enforcement, etc represented. Both towers had new fencing installed, the north building had more boards put over windows and door up to the 2nd story, etc.

Weekly cleanup efforts with support from the Fair West Neighborhood Assoc and FairWestWork continue at the corner of Madeira/Domingo. If you’d like to know more, please join the fwna_everyone list serv where cleanup event details are shared.

Nikki mentioned interest in having access to a flat bed trailer. If anyone has one or knows a neighbor who would be willing to let us use it, then please respond on the listserv. Thanks!
