Geez, I read this notice below on Craigslist. Does anyone out there know about this matter? I am disturbed because I have been looking for Apts in that area and now I feel like re considering.
If this notice I read is not true I apologize.

I would like to send an alert about Elmwood Square Apartments located at 505 Elmwood Ave, Buffalo, NY that this building is really dangerous to live in since majority of it's tenants are drug addicts and alcoholics and prostitutes who have nothing better to do all day so you will see them wondering outside begging for money or offering you drugs or sexual favors in exchange for money.
Recently, a Gay male on the 7th floor was brutally beaten, tied up and gagged by three strong men who stormed into his apartment at 130am Friday morning and gang raped this male victim. Upon further inquiry, it was learnt that the three men were given access to the building by a tenant who lives there and some say that the on call maintenance staff allowed them inside since it is "apparently" supposed to be a secure building, nonetheless the Buffalo Crime Scene Investigators as well as the Police Officers shrugged the entire incident as drug related.
Now the LGBT Community have learned that another Gay Muslim male living there has been a victim of abuse and harassment by the drug addicts and alcoholic tenants to the devastating point that he has suffered 2 strokes, lost his speech and hearing. Despite his physical limitations, he has survived the horrific abuse as recently as yesterday morning when he was brutally assaulted at the bus stop and his speech device was damaged during this scuffle. When asked why he did not call the cops, he replied "The Buffalo Police have not taken any of his complaints seriously". Even as far as helping the Narcotic agent resulted in more abuse and harassment by his neighbors and the maintenance persons who violate his privacy on a regular basis. His Housing worker Ms. Marilyn Hubbard from BFNC has played a major role in this abuse and harassment process since the goal was to have this young man hospitalized so he would become homeless all over again. It is really really sad that Gays and Lesbians are still being brutally assaulted and fall innocent victims of abuse and unnecessary harassment in 2011.
Buffalo has had a huge population decline for a reason. Be wary!
