Listen, Philly, your City Hall is really out here doing the most, or nah? You gotta keep your eyes on these folks down at Broad and Market, 'cause they moving on things that actually matter for your block.
### Dangerous Buildings on the Rise
I'm not even gonna hold you, the biggest jawn I'm seeing is these "Dangerous Building Complaints." It's showing up twice in the top 311 service requests. We got folks calling about structures that are straight-up falling apart. This ain't just some aesthetic thing, this is about safety for our kids walking to school, for our elders trying to get to the store. This tells me we got properties just sitting there, rotting, and the city needs to step up.
### What’s Next for Us
We gotta ask ourselves, why are these dangerous building complaints so high? Is it property owners neglecting their responsibilities? Is the city not inspecting enough? We need to keep an eye on how many of these complaints actually get addressed. Because an ignored dangerous building ain't just an eyesore, it's a disaster waiting to happen. That’s the jawn, Philly — we don’t do fake out here.
