How do I get rid of Crachheads in front of my apartment
For some reason or another my buildings stoop has become a meeting point for crackheads. None of them live in the buidling, yet for some reason they always sit on our stoop.

For some reason or another my buildings stoop has become a meeting point for crackheads. None of them live in the buidling, yet for some reason they always sit on our stoop. They are constantly drinking/Smoking crack and making a total mess of the area. They constantly pick apart our garbage as well. We have seen them urinate in front of the building numerous times.
I have spoken with everyone in the building and neighbors and no one wants these people around. At the same time most people are scared to do anything about it.
I have started calling the cops but they do not seem to care, even when they arrive and the crackheads are still there.
What can we do to get rid of the crackheads?
Did you try raising the price of your crack?

OK,
Where do you live? I see sketchy behavior and raccoons, but nothing like this.
My friend had this problem in front of her building and nothing was working; bleach, water, yelling, etc. Finally one day the landlord switched the front door to swing OUTWARD thus constantly hitting whoever happened to be sitting on the stoop when someone left the building. Also they had to move anytime anyone wanted to go in the building. That finally stopped people from hanging out there. Not sure if it will work in your case, but I thought it was genius.
I just want to say this: The Asshats are going to keep fucking around and someone is going to get hurt! This neighborhood had these problems before you moved in and now by some stroke of magic these things supposed to go away. I suggest Watermelon (Nice racist name BTW) that you leave these “Crackheads” alone. They are desperate and have nothing to lose but you have everything to lose and when one of them get a hold of you, GOD help your ass.
Keep fucking around is my new mantra! I hope you like it..

Someday this war is gonna end…
I called the cops yesterday, spoke with the community affairs officer at the 76th. He was very cool and attentive. I explained the situation and he said he would make sure the beat cops check the spot more often. He also said to call 911 every time we see them there and hopefully something can get done.
I will put up a no trespassing sign as well and see how that works.
I do not talk to the crackheads at all. They are actually very nice, they talk to everyone and even offer sexual ‘services’ for $10.
Hate to say it, but make your building as annoying as possible with signs and mild threats so they become someone else’s problem. EVERY time you see them, you have to hassle them. Be relentless.
No water! They’ll just retaliate by breaking your front door or something.
Clorox is a great deterrent – not when folks are there, but it’s hard to sit around a place with a pungent bleach smell. Pour out a bottle every other night for awhile when they’re not there – sort of an environmental approach as opposed to the police who may or may not be helpful, and certainly not to your visitors. What do they say when you talk with them? Have had some success that way as well.
Throw crack accross the street.
Oh. My story is equally crazy. I don’t have the time to go into full details but the short of it goes as follows….
I sublet a ground floor apartment on E. 2nd St btwn 1st and 2nd street to a guy named Ken who in turned furnished and started renting it out on an weekly basis. He put in a transsexual prostitute how had chopped the place up into 4 small rooms and had other tranny’s doing tricks all hours of the night. They would sit at the front window and solicit johns from the street.
This is just around the corner from Lucky Cheungs FYI.
