Executive Summary
After buying the property in 2011, the applicant has been working to complete the multi-family dwelling in an effort to provide new housing for the area.

According to the applicant, the subject property has experienced trespass and vandalism. The applicant installed wrought iron fencing to increase the security and protection of her future residents. The wrought iron fence also includes private entrances to limit trespass for future residents.
