Katy attended the training on Feb 5th. Anyone interested in knowing more about it contact her at katyb@silverhillabq.org
As reported by my neighbor: at about 4:45pm Monday Feb 14 a guy was somewhat drunkenly loitering around Silver and Ash. After ~10 minutes of this, a women drove up and stopped. Loiterer leaned in, items exchanged hands, driver drove away, loiterer loitered away.
I called 242-COPS, they offered to drive by. They said the best thing to do is call when the crime is in progress, and taking pictures is up to the individual citizen.
Further east on Central Avenue, police conducted a sting and arrested 23 would-be customers of prostitutes on Friday.
Short report here from KRQE.
With this message for folks in the Southeast Heights:
“We had a lot of success,” Sgt. Joe Burke with APD’s Southeast Impact team said. “I know a lot of people in the community don’t view (prostitution) as a serious problem but it is because it does progress into property crimes, automobile burglaries, commercial burglaries, robberies, if they get desperate and that’s what we’re trying to proactively prevent.”
“We cover street level prostitution from every angle so we’re not going to stop we’re going to be out there,” said Sgt. Matt Thompson with the Vice Unit.
Here’s the latest from the kidney house owned by Presbyterian Hospital on the northwest corner of Silver and Maple.
I spoke with Suzanne Kinney, of Coldwell Banker, who is listing the property on behalf of Presbyterian Hospital, which runs a nonprofit kidney-treatment facility on the site. Suzanne specializes in single-family homes, and she is marketing it as a residence, not as a business. She says it will list for $349,000. As the immediate next-door neighbor, I would love to have that property converted into a family residence.
Bill reports that the property belongs to a nonprofit called NM Kidney Patient House Inc. That’s apparently a front for Presbyterian, because Suzanne clearly considers Presbyterian her client. Bill says the city classifies the property as Community Residential Program.
Interestingly, that property was the one that helped block the midwives from moving on the Tingley House, because of zoning restrictions on businesses in the neighborhood being within a certain distance of each other. I wonder if the midwives would be interested in it, and whether their operation would qualify to use the property under its current zoning designation.
I’ll keep an eye on the property. From a zoning standpoint, we should do a little research and check the status of the property to confirm its residency status and to see what may or may not be allowed there. While the hospital has been an excellent neighbor (especially by regularly policing the property with its security team), it could be a bonus to have one fewer business operating within the historic residential stretch of Silver Avenue.
