I don't live in the best area and I do understand these types of areas are prone to serious drug use. Although the majority of the people who live in my building are crack addicts only one of them causes me problems. The one I'm dealing with lives in the apartment under mine. He is very aggressive and has been arrested more times than anyone can count for putting his hands on men, women, children and police officers. He even brags about how he did 8 years for splintering the entire skull around some woman's eye. After calling the landlord numerous times he is finally being evicted. He has to be out in 2.5 weeks and since getting the eviction notice he has been getting worse. For example, last night he had his system blasting under my daughters room until 2am, at 9:30am my boyfriend left for work and instantly the crack head neighbor was outside my door screaming at the top of his lungs that he's going to kick in my door and knock my teeth out and murder me and my daughter. Another neighbor got in between and it turned physical between them very fast. I'm looking for any advice because I'm worried that since he's on his way out he'll feel he has nothing to lose trying to do something to me and my daughter. (he believes we have cameras hidden in his apartment and that I rent out my living room to his ex every night so she can have sex with black guys right over him). I can't afford to move or I would have already, it's a horrible neighborhood that I ended up in after leaving a violent marriage. Any ideas? Anyone? Other than calling the police, I have seen him punch women in their faces, they call the cops, the cops show up talk to him and leave. Calling them will only put more of a target on me.
Is this in Albany? I don't understand how calling the cops on him will put a target on you. Film him doing one of his violent outrages so you have evidence. Post it online, make it go viral. There's a lot you can do with a crackhead neighbor!
No this isn't spam, and it's not the same that I posted in the Baltimore area. I had originally typed in on that board but when I realized there was a board for my area I put it here. All that should be from me on that other thread is the suggestion to install visible security cameras and light motion detectors to attempt at reducing the amount of foot traffic going on there.
I'm in Schenectady not Albany. With this crack head in particular if I call the cops and they don't arrest him on the spot he's the kind who will take serious, physical vengeance.

So you were like okay... I live in Schenectady, but I can't seem to find a Schenectady forum. So I'll go to a Maryland forum and post something there because that makes total sense. How does that work?
EDIT: To your above, get something on video. Then you'll be sure they WILL arrest him on the spot.

Hmmmm I'm not really sure what happened there. After I saw your post earlier I tried finding my post from yesterday and couldn't. Even following your link my response isn't showing up. It may just be me not fully understanding this cite, I was doing a Google search yesterday and came across the Baltimore post I had responded too...I didn't realize at first that this cite was region by region (I just assumed it was an all-for-one type cite...looking at the url first may have been logical).

No, it doesn't work like that and keep in mind that you posted that about 6 years ago. So, that is plenty of time to figure it out.
You also didn't respond to the post, but it was a post that started a thread.
I think there's some sort of confusion here...before yesterday I never heard of this cite...that post in Baltimore from 6 years ago was by someone else.
