Make sure everyone knows about the line. Use volunteers or an answering machine to take the calls. Residents can anonymously identify drug houses or markets on the cards and turn them in, and the organization then passes the information on to the police. Make sure they enforce these rules, working in cooperation with other concerned tenants and law enforcement. Some cities' public housing rules evict tenants whose activities or visitors' behavior seriously disrupt other residents' quality of life.
Drug houses are often rundown properties.
Ask fire, health, and housing departments to investigate drug houses for code violations and shut down these hazardous properties if possible. Piles of trash, broken windows and doors, rats, and cars that don't run violate most city housing and health codes. Urge government to tear down abandoned buildings or sell them to civic organizations who can rehabilitate them. Some cities, with a neighborhood's approval, have put up barriers across intersections that create a maze of dead-end streets and make life very difficult for drug dealers. Check with the government department that handles traffic and roads.
