Fischer Place properties placed in hazard abatement program

A request by the Westwood Civic Association (WCA) to place the properties at 2857-2861 Fischer Place into the City’s hazard abatement program has been granted, and a February 29 public hearing will determine if they should be razed. The attached buildings were condemned on December 29 because of broken windows, missing copper plumbing, a defective roof, and water damage. There were also 121 police calls to the property between 2006 and 2008, and it’s considered a major hub of drug activity. T
