n alleged drug dealer and his cronies have hijacked a Bronx home and the squatters are now terrorizing a once-quiet area with dope deals, prostitution, loud music and harassment of anyone who walks past their front porch, neighbors claim.

I'm not normally one that supports breaking the law, but in this case, arson might be the answer.

Didn’t the Mafia used to deal with these issues?

[SMARTY]

Why don’t they call in their local social workers?

And Xiden's HUD wants to bring this to your neighborhood.

Arson is too slow — allows the scum to escape from the premises. I’d prefer something a little more energetic. A small fuel/air device should do the trick.

The city has laws to protect the squatters.

The city also has laws that say if the property owner does not ay the property taxes, the city can seize the property.

In NY, that's known as a win-win.

Easier to fix than you know. See The Ghost and Mr Chicken. Install a BlueTooth speaker and occasionally play footsteps or faint screaming or talking, baby crying, children laughing, etc
late at night.

Cops are persona non grata in NYC. They’ll mind their own business unless they are directed by the Wilhelm administration to do otherwise.

Heck, Minneapolis held hostage by blm and antifa. Noone seems to care about that

[mcenedo]

What always gets me, especially in NY, is the number of times these people have ALREADY been arrested, and convicted, numerous crimes.

Would be terble if’n a fire were to break out at the back door and lots if senseless gun violence at the front.

[LIConFem]

Just awful…

These cities across the USA with these problems essentially voted for this.

They will likely keep voting for it.

And keep wondering what to do about it.

Very difficult to have any sympathy.

Those who can leave, should leave.

Yeah,what a pity...The real owner should up his home insurance..JUST IN CASE

Not if you knock on the door the use a bucket of gas and a 15 flare gun of Amazon. Not that I have given it any thought.
