Seattle landlords face fines, deadlines over unauthorized homeless encampments

Homeless people who set up their camps on private lots can create some escalating costs for landlords. Property owners in Seattle said they don’t cause the problems that lead to complaints, but they end up having to pay for the impacts on the neighborhood. That can include fines imposed by the city, in addition to the expense of new fencing and other security measures. The latest example is on Capitol Hill, where a vacant lot along Melrose Avenue became filled with tents and trash. On Wednesday, clean-up crews hired by the property owner through We Heart Seattle were tasked with removing the last of the debris that had accumulated on the lot. “It's a hazardous waste site and affects the community, it affects the restaurants, and it affects the residents,” said Andrea Suarez with We Heart Seattle, a privately funded homeless outreach group. Used needles, gas cannisters, and even improvised weapons had to be cleared out. All of it had been left behind after Seattle police told a dozen homeless people they were trespassing on private property and had to go. Suarez said her team managed to direct many of them to services, including medical care and drug treatment referrals. #homeless #homelessness #seattlehomelesscrisis #homelesscrisis -------------------------------------------------- For more on the story: https://komonews.com/news/local/landl... _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook:   / komonews   KOMO News on Twitter:   / komonews   KOMO News on Instagram:   / komo4   KOMO News on TikTok:   / komo4seattle   Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube:    / @komonews   Watch more top local news stories:    • Видео   For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-...
