<body>Speak to other neighbors on the block and try to get them organized so<BR>
that they communicate a unified message of opposition. If the house is <BR>
already a nuisance, try to provide photographs and any type of<BR>
documentation possible. Does the property have any parking spaces?<BR>Can they possibly provide parking for additional units, or is parking<BR>
not an issue? Also the existing zoning may automatically prohibit use<BR>
as a multi-unit. Are there other multi-unit properties on the block?<BR>
You might also want to enlist the help of your City Councilman/woman.<BR>
This is an election year.<BR><BR>John<BR><BR><BR>
