On Tuesday, October 14, a few men attempted to gain access with crowbars and hammers to a residential property on the 1200 block of South 6^th Street.  The house is managed by a realty services company.  An employee of the company was nearby, and confronted the men, who told him that they were inspectors for the Department of Licenses and Inspections.  The men claimed that were reviewing the building for construction work under the Community Life Improvement Program (CLIP).  When asked to show city identification, the men became angry and threatening.  It was only when they learned that the building was to be sold that they desisted in their actions.

Residents should call 911 immediately if confronted by people who claim to be inspectors but will not show identification
