Most crack houses are extremely dirty. Trash, drug paraphernalia, and other items often cover the floors, and the walls are typically stained or damaged.
Crack houses also tend to include guards who may use violence to keep people out or resolve conflicts.
In addition, many crack houses double as houses of prostitution. That’s because some people who are addicted to crack exchange sex for crack money.
However, not all crack houses feature trash buildup, violence, or prostitution. Some are clean and well-maintained, and the occupants behave like average citizens, usually because their crack addictions are less severe.
