DETROIT – The city is taking steps to make residents of a neighborhood on Detroit’s west side feel safer.
On Monday evening (April 14), viewers could see real-time efforts to secure an abandoned house on Cherrylawn Street, near Lyndon Street, just south of the Lodge Freeway.
Local 4 answered the call, and we were on-site to report on the implemented measures to address this eyesore.
We received the call for help Thursday (April 10) morning, and just hours later, the city was jumping into action.
We called the city of Detroit after receiving complaints like this one to the Help Me Hank tipline, and within minutes, the city had an inspector on the scene.
Neighbors nearby said they’ve had enough. They’re concerned for their safety, including the safety of their kids, who play outside.
We received a tip from a resident who said the home had been vandalized. It’s been vacant since September 2024.
