Newly obtained data from the Douglas County 911 Center shows there have been 134 calls for service here, including trespassing, burglary, graffiti, and theft. Neighbors tell me even they were surprised to learn of the number of 911 calls here.
“I’m just really shocked by that number, and nothing still has been done,” said Cameron Ram.
When Ram moved into his apartment years ago, he didn’t think the abandoned building would still be an issue today.
“The building is not serving any purpose. It’s just been sitting there for years, and nothing has been done,” he said.
On Monday, neighborhood reporter John Brown paid another visit to the hotel. He discovered people were back cleaning the inside of it. They’re the same workers who were here Thursday. He talked with one man off camera named Jake Williams. He said he’s the nephew of property manager Larry Williams. Jake told KMTV Larry paid him $1,500 in advance to come from Texas to start cleaning the property so they could demolish it themselves. Jake said they’re working on getting the front of the hotel cleared by the end of the week.
