Concerns with raucous tenants at 505 Magnolia

Friends -

There has been some conversation amongst the neighbors over the last several weeks regarding the tenants occupying the house at 505 Magnolia Avenue. Serious concerns about raucous behavior, partying, underage drinking?, loud noise late at night into the early morning hours, trash buildup around the house, numerous vehicles, parking in the driveway blocking the sidewalk, trash can situated in the front yard, public urination, and the list goes on. The property has taken on a decidedly disheveled appearance. While we are all sensitive to the current real estate market, other rental situations exist amicably in our immediate vicinity without the negative impact we are experiencing from the tenants at this address.

I have contacted our NAC liaison Stephanie Davis for some advice. She confirms that neighbors should not hesitate to call the police non-emergency telephone number to report any problems. That number again is: 301-600-2102. Another possible contact is William Dukes, Division Manager of Code Enforcement for the City of Frederick. His telephone number is 301-600-3825. His email address is wdukes@cityoffrederick.com .

Stephanie also suggested that we contact the mayor and alderman as the city has an ongoing discussion concerning rental licensing, although no official action has been taken at this time. mayor@cityoffrederick.com; dkuzemchak@cityoffrederick.com; dkoontz@cityoffrederick.com; mhall@cityoffrederick.com; aimhoff@cityoffrederick.com; psmith@cityoffrederick.com

One of our neighbors was able to secure an email address for the property owners. Please forward your concerns to me and I will pass them on to the owners. Hopefully we can work together to mitigate this undesirable situation.
