Pasadena hospital building deemed public nuisance, attracting spike in criminal activity

Residents and city officials have deemed the abandoned St. Luke Hospital in Pasadena a public nuisance as a spike in criminal activity continues plaguing the area. The once historic 11-acre site was built in 1933 and shuttered in 2002 due to financial troubles, remaining vacant since. Locals say the building is not only an eyesore but is attracting chronic illegal activity while threatening public safety. The abandoned hospital has grown into a state of disarray, with broken windows and doors, tons of graffiti and vandalism, overgrown weeds and plants. The site has been attracting vandals and squatters as well, locals said. City officials want the building's owner, identified as Mehdi Boulour of Denley Investments, to clean up the property but said he has not been cooperative.
