There is growing evidence that city officials knew, or should have known, about dangerous living conditions inside a South Shore apartment building long before federal immigration agents raided it last week.
Wells Fargo, has been pressuring its owner to “re-assert control over the building.” In a recent court filing, the bank claimed “the building is unsecured, which allows non-tenants to access the interior. There has also been increased criminal activity and shootings at the property, which is located across the street from an elementary school.”
While recent coverage framed the raid as the breaking point, Head’s videos show the building was already collapsing into uninhabitable conditions. Wading through filthy water in early September, he remarked, “Trust me, it’s been like this for, like, three months.”
His footage confirms that flooding, trash-strewn apartments, unsecured units, and dangerous improvised wiring were already the norm long before federal agents arrived.
“This narrative that it was a sprawling, diverse community building… is absolutely outrageous,” said one person familiar with the property.
Two days after Head posted his third video, prosecutors charged a Venezuelan migrant with murdering another migrant inside one of the building’s apartments. Investigators allege the killer bragged that he had the victim’s body buried in concrete at a construction site.

“Should have known”.

Wasn’t several Venezuelan illegals also operating a free child day care facility there. And, I think there were others providing low cost health care along with inexpensive drugs.
A friend from El Salvadore who was a green card holder and is now a citizen and he speaks fluent English. A county code inspector showed up on his property. He’d built a house with no plumbing and electric on an extension cord in his side yard for his mother-in-law. He had two travel trailers with people living in them permanently with no sewer connection. All of this in an R1 residential neighborhood. He told the code inspector in his least understandable English he was an illegal. The inspector promptly left and didn’t come back. His reason was the law does not apply to illegals.
Import the third world, become the third world.
“… shootings at the property, which is located across the street from an elementary school.”
That’s not possible. It would be in a gun free zone.
