Page 4 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020 PARK | FROM PAGE 1 “To let this go on beyond this week is insanity,” Powers said. Melnik said the Inspectional Services Department (ISD) has 10 days to respond to public record requests regarding health or building code violations. Representatives at Majestic Motors didn’t return press inquiries, as of press time. McKenna said Sullivan Tire is the same story. “Let’s get the city to clean this up,” she said. “Listen to my ANGELO’S FULL SERVICE "42 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2020 Regular Unleaded $2.299 Mid Unleaded $2.839 Super $2.899 Diesel Fuel $2.799 KERO $4.759 Diesel $2.659 HEATING OI 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

She added that trailers are falling apart, creating unsafe living conditions. “People are living in squalor,” McKenna said. “Some of these trailers don’t even have bathrooms and have windows boarded up.” She said a cease and desist order should be placed until the property owner can bring the area up to par. “If someone doesn’t keep their house the way they’re supposed to, why can’t we shut it down?” McKenna asked. “Let’s help these people [find a better place to live].” She went on to say it’s unfair how beautiful structures are being built all over the city while those less fortunate have to live this way. “One of my former students came out of a trailer and said she lives there with her father because she is financially strapped,” said McKenna, who added that it’s people with hardships. “It’s not all drug addicts.” Nicholas Moulaison, who runs an online police blotter, says he reports approximately 15 overdoses per week there. Councillor-at-Large George Rotondo, who has visited third world countries, said this appears to be beyond third world and that he’s willing to help. “We need to find them another place to live,” Rotondo said. “We have to be serious about this.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.
