We, the undersigned owners, residents, and concerned citizens, of the homes in the Coleman Addition Subdivision in Potosi, Missouri, respectfully request that our City Board of Aldermen take action to remove the derelict, condemned houses within our neighborhood.

Because these homes are in beyond repairable condition, they encourage unsafe and illegal activity in the subdivision. They are in such terrible condition that law enforcement officers cannot enter the premises safely to protect those living nearby. These houses also act as refuges to feral cats and various rodents; therefore, we do have reason to believe that our health is at risk.

Please listen to our concerns and take the necessary action to demolish these houses. Please help restore this subdivision to a safe, family-oriented place to live.
