Absentee Slumlords

Leave a Comment / Community /

Absentee Slumlords We have a serious issue going on in this city regarding absentee slumlords within the Ellicott district and throughout the city of Buffalo, NY, coming to light  in the death of two innocent children, and other unfortunate incidents. This particular Slumlord rented out his house on Shirley Street after another tenant moved out because of a dispute they had between each other, involving the neglected dangerous electrical wires throughout the house. Instead of addressing the issue, this landlord rented the house out to a single mom with three children, and tragically,  resulting into a serious electrical house fire that claimed the lives of two of her three children. Common Council President Darius G. Pridgen wants residents to be able to contact absentee landlords and be able to enforce the owner to repair the issues with their house or apartment flats. He  also started a campaign called “Operation Slumlord” by placing signs in front of the neglected property with the full identification of this particular slumlord/landlord information.  Is that enough to enforce these neglectful slumlords to do what they have to do? I don’t think so! Yet when a woman and her child got ran over at the Scajaquada Expressway, the Buffalo News, Channel 2, 4, and 7 did a full coverage for over a week, plus forced the city to changed the speed limit on the Scajaquada Expressway to 30 mph. What is wrong with this picture? You figure. Absentee landlords should be held liable for wrongful deaths. Because of their negligence, they should face severe penalties, lawsuits and even jail time. Zero tolerance, no exceptions, this situation needs to be addressed and dealt with immediately. More to come!

El momento es propicio pues entramos en la mitad del 2019, pasamos revista, reflexionamos y ejecutamos un plan de trabajo para poder cumples las metas y contribuir a Buffalo, a NY y al mundo. Como nos preparamos para poder participar en plenitude en la vidad civica y comunitaria de este gran estado mientras forjamos un futuro solido para nuestras familias y la comunidad Latina en general?

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: YOU MATTER!

Leave a Comment / Community /

Civic engagement is the banner of democratic participation at the Parkway Central Library in Philadelphia. The Free Library of Philadelphia’s mission and vision keeps expanding with addition to their new democratic space.  The Parkway Central Library is a majestic building for all: residents, visitors, returning citizens and homeless Philadelphians. It is not just a library! It is a democratic community that serves all. I have become a regular at the library as I seek to rejuvenate both my brain and spirit. I have had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy book presentations, use their career job seeking center as well as learn through historical presentations from civil rights issues to cartography.  On April 12th, 2019 the Parkway Library opened new spacing in which civic engagement continues to flourish.  As many municipalities prepared themselves to run democratic primaries, I urge everyone to find out where your local legislator and or school board candidate stand on the issue of continued funding for libraries and community engagement. Take a moment and find out who is running in your district, what their agenda and most importantly where do she/he stands on public education, adult literacy, ESL literacy and resources for new Americans. Visit your local library and find out what funding deficit does it have? What are the new programs your community can benefit from? Support all and every endeavor by your local library.  I leave you with two magnificent pictures of the People’s Literacy Haven: The Free Library of Philadelphia on the Parkway.
