Dear Mr. Dailey:
This letter will confirm our meeting in your orrice of.12/18/92.
We delivered to you copy of the letter from Great Atlantic dated
12/15/92 together with copies of some of the recent incidents in
and around the buildings that constitute these two projects.
We, as you know, do not have the money in tho rents to pay for
police security in these buildings, lately members of different
gangs seem to have developed a turf war and they have and are
shooting at the buildings, beating people up etc. The time of
response of the police station has been to say the least, totally
unacceptable from 45 minutes to an hour, after notification.
Mr. Bailey, I am afraid for the safety or the tenants, the
maintenance staff and most of all the small children that occupy
these units. We need your help in providing come immediate police
presence, we know that similar protection, a police parked on the
street, has been and is being provided in coconut Grove, the same
could be donee here.
Mr. Bailey, tenants and maintenance staff are very concerned for
their safety, the city has in addition to the obligation to provide
security for its citizens a contractual responsibility as
administrators of the Sect 8 Mod Rehab for Miami 11 as Well as the
protection of its investment of approximately 3.6 MM in second
mortgages in these two projects which could be totally lost if the
tenants begin to vacate the buildings and we end up with
substantially empty buildings. Not to mention the fact that
approximately y MM of private investment would be lost and probably
will be very difficult in the future to get Banks to invest in
Housing in Liberty city.
