Special Laws & Rules for Baltimore County
http://www.peoples-law.org/node/1031
Americans can become better-informed citizens.
My thanks to the Patch for giving a platform to reach out to our community.
Ignorance, misinformation and peoples rights, when I find facts or useful tools to
inform the neighbors that there are ways to get things done either by individual or group. Northern Arbutus has issues that have plenty of issues like the lowering of property values. A big issue in the area, a very important one is calling 911 and calls go to the city every second counts when a life hangs in the balance. Now is time for tenets, homeowners and landlords to promote a balance to have a safe area to live and have pride of Arbutus. Tenets and homeowners here is the link of special laws if you see anything this is the tool to promote the neighborhood welfare health and citizens of Baltimore County, for the people afraid to call police due to the alleged rumors and tracing calls and evection is covered. A property owner may not evict a tenant solely due to tenant’s complaint to the Code Offical of alleged violation of this code (Section 35-5-204(e))http://www.peoples-law.org/node/1031
Read the laws carefully, engage in conversation

It’s working well! my comments and suggestions have been adopted by other associations. Progress may be slow but it still progress, cell phones, Neighbors exchanging and notifying each other in real time as a group. Embracing technology no one meets in any meetings. When suspicious activity we call the neighbor that the direction of the activity and decide if 911 is needed. When a “ night-walker observer” goes out, a neighbor is notified. If the observer sees any activity contact your back up discuss the actions your back up calls police and returns call or dual call cell & land line constant communication even the officer sent out has chatted with the backup and gives additional information. The prescient knows us and works with us. Cool heads slow progress prevails!

It might mean that devaluing housing in Northern and Southern Arbutus 21229 / 21227 to the levels to use there plans, It makes sense that no improvements or new stores in our area or attracting new business, so the plan for Clark road may be back on track Think? ask questions!

These comments are not to be taken out of context; History NOW is the time to wake up! Some of us get what is going on in our country the word God is a generic name! Go to the library and ask for a book on God, what answer would you get? Which one? Who created the laws of Nature? The Founding Fathers of our Great Country knew this and our Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and other document reflect this. America would not work without all agree that is one Creator whoever you call deity, and live in tolerance and respect of each others religion or non- religions in peace. Only if you have traveled out of America you would see that through out time wars were about? This is not for the narrow minded but for open minded looking for the reason why America is not what we stand for any more, the need to dig into history and connect the dots the last western B.C.E to emperor abdicated in 476 AD The population shrank to perhaps and the senate, a relic from the republic, vanished in 580 AD. Yes republic, just as America a republic take a look at history so it look at this http://www.thefreemanonline.org/features/marcus-tullius-cicero-who-gave-natural-law-to-the-modern-world/ Same as our forefathers built our country, WE as a Country is repeating history What is said about history? “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it” I believe this may be the issue that confronts us today.

Now we have a list of issues that need to be addressed, the pictures I uploaded are to erase all doubt where Arbutus line is. Let’s say Southern Arbutus Insisting that this is Maiden Choice NOT Arbutus. Truth even all evidence has been shown, some minds will not be changed I can respect that. No map shows a listing of Maiden Choice lane area only the road name. These pictures are to inform the misguided that the Area they call Maiden Choice is now debunked, the issue is mute. Instead communities in the south accept and clear this and unite as a community here would be a start of a true community uniting working together as one. Who ever drew up the zip code must not have the belief in a unified community. Arbutus WE need you! Just as you need us up here we are the first defense from issues crossing from city line. Years ago this sleepy little town with its hardware store ole time street sweeper may god bless him, The old Hollywood my mom went to as a child with the old glass balcony, and air conditioner , a fan blowing over ice.Times changed and WE need you to reach out to us to be unified and bring out the people that live in fear of speaking up. Reach out unite not divide.Wilkins precinct police Thank you for the work in our area up here. I know the sacrifice you take each day. I have the greatest respect.

Over the many years living in Arbutus I have seen the decline of Northern Arbutus in some areas, and some areas shine bright, only after doing some research I came to the conclusion about Northern Arbutus and decline in this the area and lack of support and why. First the decline of the hero’s of the greatest generation, us baby boomers we all walked among heroes and never relished there sacrifices for the freedom they protected for us. It’s a tragedy that some gave there lives, Ones came home from war but its not, as they slept, nightmares of the terror and inhuman situations they lived over and over every night so bad they never talked about it never complained. These once beautiful neighborhoods lost to decay do to lack of maintenance; now the neighborhood goes on without them. There picket fences of there dream house in taters. Some houses in decline being bought by people having no interest to live in them but to be landlords let them decline all in the name of greed. You can drive through the streets and can tell right away what houses are renters some not even documented, the landlords does minimal to make a profit. Then the apartment complexes with graffiti broken windows some with no stoves no screens to let the air in on a warm night, Some tenets ask if they can relay a 911 to homeowners to call so they don’t get evicted, Cont..

Cont…. As for the immigrants that they put in the back out of sight, I am not racist they need to acclimate, but I hope they don’t think this is the real America. They have to transition from there culture when it come to relieving themselves outdoors. I receive calls from a few tenants how deplorable of the conditions clothes hanging out the windows. They can’t speak out afraid of retribution, eviction; the Immigrants will not call the police and the wrong type of people knows that and takes advantage. Look at the windows old and drafty, plastic bags fill in were the glass is broken. The offices look picture perfect, but heating system, a lot of windows, graffiti, and bed bug infestation. Dead trees widow makers, infestation of mice, drafty no insulation and the buildings need to be condemned, the colleges I’m told the student to stay away I don’t blame the people outside the beltway of Arbutus that want to separate us and call us Maiden Choice that’s being a derogatory comment, We have pride, now you know why some of us don’t go to meetings I’m sure government officials know about our issues, they know the special laws and rules of the county that if a degraded building causing a community to suffer they can step in but….

One thing is strange is the immigrants have been known if the any of the houses for sale they ask people in the neighborhood if the owner will accept cash? That would take me a life time to accumulate that kind of money If you notice at the top description of this blog I said to protect ones self with an alias but people still afraid to speak up so until things get better around here. The open drug exchanges seen almost every day the transaction happen so fast 5 seconds that when you get the phone there gone or so fast you cant get a real ID just car colors.

Then put the cubes where dogs and cats get to them. That plus the feral cats maintain our balance, Now the drugs contact Wilkins precinct inform them of the location, the dealers are smarter now cell phone hand to hand takes 5 second transaction. The other transaction type is the dealer has located the stash and the buyer will be on the cell Ph looking around for the location for the drop off point. Keep a log of Location, time of transaction, and description tag # the transactions are so fast gather as much information. By the time you reach for the phone the deal is done their gone.

A Cut Above: A Veteran’s Day Prayer
Dear Lord, We pray for blessings on this assembly
of extraordinary men and women,
who did things most people don’t want to do,
went to places we would never want to visit,
and lived at length in uncomfortable surroundings
we can’t even imagine.
They did what they did from devotion
to their country’s freedom, honor and reputation.
They endured difficult service
because they are exceptional people,
a cut above the rest of us,
who live safe, comfortable lives.
We pray that you will bless them mightily, Lord.
Lavish on them now
abundant comforts and pleasures
they so often did without.
We pray that our country
will always honor their service
expressing frequently profuse gratitude
for their service to keep us safe and free.
In Jesus’ name we pray; Amen.

I speak for those whom believe in repercussion from government. I served my country on what our founding fathers believe in. My thoughts reflect and opinions and whenever I will post my comment with there quotes at times when necessity to back who we are. The true history has been Perverted and the REAL TRUTH has been removed from schools to indoctrinate their thoughts. I have the knowledge why the things are the way they are. The facts are greater the fiction. just like the people that know right from wrong and signed there name with an X and another to verify that person is who he they say they are.. We the people are no different in the way of our warriors who protect us. tactics change ,technology changes but the warrior never changes.

One bite at a time, Elephant but you have to stay right on top of it, The complex behind Elm Ridge Ave is riddled with hide outs, some are not known but it is an issue with the complex with alleged immigrants that urinate and defecate in public drink Beer and trash the area, I don't blame them from running away from there country Burma. The life style needs to be ACCLIMATE to being an American Someone is not doing there job of creating a citizen of America AND SHAME ON THEM Plus the back of Elm ridge is a haven for them to hide, drink, trash the area. Whoever is paying there bills for beer? Is it the tax payer? If not is it there sponsoring? If its there sponsor they need to step up to the plate and take responsibility for not doing the right for these people. It is shameful, and take responsibility of them. The living conditions multiple families in one apartment. The apartments alleged are in need of cash they and hunt down for a guarantee cash flow. These people live in horrible conditions and we condone this in Northern Arbutus, You need to contact the Landlord and do some upgrades if you’re a Democrat that supports a green environment you found a cause! In sake of humanity and an a true American help them in this complex the issues for me is protecting the one protecting us BC Police the over grown canopy’s where the criminals hide dead trees need remove The police protect us so If these areas are cleared, it will protect the people and the ones who protect us

Well another break in on Elm Ridge, Why? Well the inhabitants in the degraded, condemned looking Apartment complex will not call police and criminals know it. The sponsors who brought them here should teach them the responsibility of an American citizen, and do their civil duty! But since the sponsors are not doing their part they may be the ones that are responsible for the neighborhood troubles. The trees block the view, in many ways is nice not to see this place on the other hand? When Criminals know that the police will not be called the neighborhood is a target for turbulent times. But who are the sponsors that are making them live this way. All we are told is its private property, but yet what about the health department? When people are afraid to call police, or any other agency or department the country is not far behind. What about living in fear?
People that emigrated from Europe in WW2 knew the fear, but there lives of living memory of fear are fading away as they pass, and memory turns into history. These Americans would tell you “who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." William L. Shirer made these words the epigraph for his Rise and Fall

RATS ! I like to know when each area started seeing Rats in there neighborhoods. 21229 or mostly Elm Ridge was overtaken, and I mean RATS were having a PARTY and at time it looked like rave party I have never seen them that bad even in the City. But with diligence with 10% help from Local district. That was 5-7 years ago and was aware of the Issue. Now why did the Eradication start in areas that may have been just been in recent years? But that has been the issue Local Government for decades. Just as all the Constructions and speed bumps sidewalks is there some
Ours came from the apartments behind Elm Ridge Ave Apartments. Now there has been tons of clean up at the apartments. Due to? Advance Notice! If 21229 was the first they WOULD CLOSE IT DOWN! The Local district
A neighbor has taken a lot of pictures and I will ask him to give the rights to post them. The before, Where you can see what we had to deal with. The Pubic and Private sector has issues with them I have talked with the people that dealt with them. But on the local level its HANDS OFF, WHY? The only time complex does anything is if when a higher level government (State) steps in, But local then its time is up and there going to get cited then they correct it. So if you are in 21229 and have issues with our area DO IT NOW while the heat is on them

Maryland politicians' crime spree
From political crime to legalized corruption, the state of ethics in the Free State is a sorry one
May 24, 2012|By Douglas M. Schmidt
For the past three years, Maryland has experienced an unprecedented crime wave of political corruption. The only comparable period in memory would be the 1970s, when a governor was jailed and a sitting U.S. vice president (who had served as governor and Baltimore County executive) resigned in shame. The current offenders have been high-ranking elected officials, and the offenses have been far more serious than simple lapses in judgment. They have involved a level of hubris and ethical depravity that are shocking by any standard.
The sequence of scandals is subtly and slowly undermining trust in government as well as putting a sordid label on modern Maryland politics. The scandals also raise the question about how much corruption is below the surface and how deeply established it is in Maryland government. If the people at the top are cheating, what passes for acceptable practices among the rank and file? The scandals come at a particularly inopportune time for Maryland politicians, forming a backdrop of hostile public reaction to Annapolis tax increases and the push by leaders for more state-sponsored gambling.

From Information we collected it will be built on the old Pigeon Ct, We were unaware of this street, I been here a long time but only citizens would be aware of this road when Wilkins Dairy Farm was in operation or before Giant food store was built. WOW 3,000 square foot area. You think you have a hard time now looking for a parking spot? Our best estimate is that the located bank in the center of the parking lot. On the comments state they post it in the newspaper? TOWSON JEFFERSONIAN Publication Days Tues, Thrs Circulation: weekend 0, Weekdays 2384, Distribution: CONBINATION? Arbutus Gas stations will go on life support, The Catonsville promenade Gas and Go! The greatest benefit being utilizing Spring Grove is a wildlife refuge, with the fox’s raccoons, groundhogs, and possum running through 21229 they need a home. The Promenade will be biggest potential for economic impact but it will be bad environmental impact!

A slumlord is an unscrupulous landlord who milks a property without concern for tenants, neighborhoods or their own long term interests. Slumlords overcharge for property in poor neighborhoods that is kept in poor repair and allowed to deteriorate. Some indicators of property run by a slumlord include number of police calls, and city and county code violations on the properties.
The following is an example of a state statute defining slumlord property:
" 3. "Slumlord property" means residential rental property that has deteriorated or is in a state of disrepair and that manifests one or more of the following conditions that are a danger to the health or safety of the public:

I'm still waiting for some action in 21229 I don't know whats going on in our little area? I heard he was in this area, but for what? I haven't seen any changes I will have to get the information. I'm wondering what hes doing with slumlords in 21229.A slumlord is an unscrupulous landlord who milks a property without concern for tenants, neighborhoods or their own long term interests. Slumlords overcharge for property in poor neighborhoods that is kept in poor repair and allowed to deteriorate. Some indicators of property run by a slumlord include number of police calls, and city and county code violations on the properties.
The following is an example of a state statute defining slumlord property:
that are a danger to the health or safety of the public. The rumor that tenets call police 3 times there evicted may have some truth, Plus the buildings have never been upgraded since they been built and would never pass codes http://definitions.uslegal.com/s/slumlord/ I will find out what Quirk does about them. I don't have to name the place EVERYONE KNOWS! or if anyone want guess the names of the Apartments ur welcome to post your guess!

Citation Maryland Code, Real Property, §8-211
Highlights The Landlord must repair and eliminate conditions and defects which constitute, or if not promptly corrected will constitute, a fire hazard or a serious and substantial threat to the life, health or safety of occupants, including, but not limited to:
• Lack of heat, light, electricity, or hot or cold running water, except where the tenant is responsible for the payment of the utilities and the lack thereof is the direct result of the tenant's failure to pay the charges
• Lack of adequate sewage disposal facilities
• Infestation of rodents in two or more dwelling units
• The existence of any structural defect which presents a serious and substantial threat to the physical safety of the occupants
• The existence of any condition which presents a health or fire hazard to the dwelling unit
Remedy for breach If the tenant gives notice of the condition to the landlord and a reasonable time to repair, rebuttably presumed to be 30 days, and the landlord fails to repair, then the tenant may initiate a rent escrow, pay the rent into court while suing the landlord, and take other actions and obtain other forms of relief. See §8-211(j) and following.

This ii the plan for down grading 21229 and other areas instead of Improving, is being PUSHED on us We fight an uphill battle to to improve our neighborhood?
At least 75% of the units must be occupied by low-income residents and either (1) at least 20% of the units must be occupied by very-low-income residents or (2) 40% must be occupied by residents that do not exceed 120% of the very-low-income limit for the area in which the housing is located (up to 25% of the units may be provided at market rates to residents who have incomes in excess of the low-income limit).
The project must actually be occupied by poor and distressed residents, subject to a reasonable transition period (typically one year) to place the project into service.
The housing must be affordable to the charitable beneficiaries.
If the project consists of multiple buildings and each building does not separately meet the safe harbor requirements, the buildings must share the same grounds.

This is how Slum Lords get there money by letting the building decline go to a Program that teaches them how to make money without improvements to property Our communities suffer decline of the neighborhoods and millionaires that get a steady income with this program. Just check out who owns these property's and you will see an income by using the system.. anyone with a sliver of morals would not do this but for GREED AND DESTRUCTION You wanted the you got it. So until changes in SlumLords Buildings are brought up to codes in the area lead paint broken widows old steel piping leaking sewage. Asbestos was commonly used in all sorts of buildings throughout the early and mid-20th Century. When one adds these two variables together, it’s easy to see that there are certain apartment buildings that were built with asbestos included in the materials.So when were these Apartment building constructed? yea that time frame. Why should they upgrade, the landlord sucks the money and life out of the Neighborhood. The same is for the ones that buy homes to rent but they don't have a landlord permit and there ARE so many of these leaches of society in Baltimore County. If the county wanted to investigate they can type in the owner of a house @ Baltimorecounty.gov and see for yourself.If an lod man can do it U can. Know anyone who owns a house they rent you can find out if there is a landlord permit. Hell Baltimore county would collect allot of tax money plus Job creation

I have investigated there Baltimorecounty.gov that several names from Deeds and found out the renters homes are not approved landlord, I have with a couple names and those have up to 20-40 property's and good amount are not approved Landlords.
Its easy to find out through the web site. I will post later how anyone can do it. This will allow you of Arbutus and Catonsville to do this yourself. The website will also tell you that it is not 100% accurate on the site prior to using it, but you will know if that house in your neighborhood is 100% correct.

Now there is a new problem with Elm ridge. Our alley is a private alley and private property parking area and the tenets of the Apartment complex are always trespassing. So we need to put signs up so it can be enforced properly and hopefully prosecute them for trespassing. You would think the landlord would inform them to use sidewalks then our properties.we have to find someone will make them at cost of materials and we can take a day to install them the so called pathway alley where most drug deals happen all the time supplying the tenets, so if we call 911 that gives the police more actions to take adding leverage and trespassing is Illegal !.its not safe

I haven't posted in awhile lettering everyone attack each other instead of looking forward and resolving issues in there neighborhood. Kudos To Nikki on taking some of our 21 century concept of today's neighborhoods. Nikki my best wishes to you and embracing the root cause instead of direct cause. The environment today is an awaking to our issues. We work hard up here we are a buffer for Arbutus(east drive) that we love. keep the direct cause in focus but we have to work harder on root cause that our govt officials HAS TO ADDRESS to district 1 and above to resolve and rebuild a new Arbutus. But Northern Arbutus had a big hit The apartment ratings up here went from 14% to 7% IF THAT'S not a flag for our of district ONE http://www.apartmentratings.com/rate/MD-Baltimore-Meadow-Lane-Apartments-1367367.html and as you can see that the person of meager means to get by and while the owner has millions and don't contribute to Arbutus as a whole.May god bless your endeavors and one day unight as a complete town with a focuses of a wonderful neighborhood Nikki Keep the faith one day we will be united as a community

Crime Continued Long-Term Downward Trend? What will 2013 stats bring?
The Baltimore county Police do a fantastic job, but what is the reason from the down trend? There has been several issues that has been called in on 911 are u one? What you should know is that in case of a car accident (non injury) or a bike seat stolen off your child’s bike out of your yard? There are a few officers that have used your ignorance of the law in the past. What is the reason an officer not to write one? Laziness of the officer, politically motivations, department pushed, I raise this question because this been an issue in 21229 Arbutus years ago. A recent incident was not written when requested.
Wilkins Department officers has been on the job and doing an above and beyond and becoming part of the neighborhood. My hope is this is a one time issue that one officer actions dose not reflect on the pride of officers we have worked with in ARBUTUS 21229. But 21229 falls into The Baltimore City Federal crime list (FBI) instead Baltimore County!

We still have no answers on the apartment complex has multiple issues that the Elm Ridge Association has not seen any changes other then the Wilkins Police support.
No cooperation with the management some units have been flooded and contain mold and now one has retained a lawyer for heath issues. Contacting the office but response of there Maintenance is null. The Complex has evicted tenants only to see them go from one building complex to another. Utility Basement Windows @ 4423 painted black, suspicious activity? Doors busted down @ 4419 the office has notified stated it would be fixed the next day weeks has past and no action, Teens loitering late night in this dangerous place Buildings have no visible building numbers facing the alley causing issue for law enforcement and any suspicious activity. The urinating out of a window, excrement, urination, excessive trash in the Patapsco watershed between the apt and Elm ridge Ave alley they do not address these issues . The local journalist this spring viewed and promised a huge Article on our complex issues in Arbutus 21229, but I assume that the potato got so hot it was dropped.
I want to thank Elm Ridge participants’ that arranged clean up and worked together and the new participants in our watch the neighbor hood.
