To the Mayor, City Council, and the Planning & Code Administration Department of Hagerstown, Maryland:
We, the undersigned residents, homeowners, and concerned community members of Hagerstown, demand that the City immediately exercise its legal authority under Chapter 185 (Nuisance Abatement Ordinance) to declare the residence at 838 Dewey Avenue, Hagerstown, MD 21740 a Public Nuisance Property.
A Public Nuisance is defined as any property that threatens the health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding public. Over the past year alone, the constant, volatile criminal activities stemming from this specific address have severely disrupted our community, endangered innocent children, and compromised the safety of everyone walking down our street.
The public court records and police response logs for this address present an undeniable pattern of severe, escalating criminal danger:
November 11, 2025: Rape investigation response.
December 17, 2025: Witness Retaliation, Obstruction of Justice, and Witness Intimidation (Case No. D-112-CR-26-006503).
February 10, 2026: Felony Theft (Case No. D-112-CR-26-000053).
March 17–18, 2026: Disorderly Conduct and Domestic Disturbance responses.
April 30, 2026: Home Invasion and two counts of First/Second-Degree Assault.
July 9, 2026: Assault response.
August 18, 2026: Second-Degree Assault on a Child (Case No. D-112-CR-26-000357).
August 26, 2026: Neglect of a Minor (Case No. D-112-CR-26-003850).

Because the residents of this household have a documented legal history of Witness Retaliation and Intimidation, the organizers and signers of this petition choose to stand together collectively while withholding individual identities to prevent retaliation.
The City of Hagerstown has the power to issue municipal infractions, fines up to $5,000 per day, and enforce legal closure or abatement mandates against properties that harbor continuous illegal activity. We have tolerated this severe hazard for too long. We demand that the City of Hagerstown prioritize the safety of its law-abiding citizens and take immediate, decisive action against 838 Dewey Avenue.
By signing this petition, we formally request immediate nuisance abatement intervention.
