Parma Heights resident tells council repeated property damage has left him anxious, asks for police follow-up
Summary
At the Oct. 14 meeting, resident Brad Landa said parts of his siding and roofing have been repeatedly torn down, that police follow-up has been limited, and he asked council to ensure officers investigate and increase patrols in his neighborhood.
During the public-comment portion of the Oct. 14 meeting, resident Brad Landa of 6619 Big Creek Parkway described months of repeated damage to his home’s siding and roofing and said previous contacts with police and dispatch produced only polite responses and no sustained follow-up.
"I've called the police, dispatch, sent e-mails to police and even talked to an officer on the street but all I get is a polite response 'no help, no follow up' and the damage keeps happening," Landa said. He asked council to "please make sure this situation is taken seriously and that the police keep a close eye on my area and help me find out who is behind this." Landa told council the ongoing incidents have negatively affected his mental health and his sense of safety.
Council President Tom Rounds thanked Landa for speaking; the meeting record does not show a detailed council response, a formal referral, or a staff directive recorded on the record to open a new investigation during that meeting.
Also during public comment, Tammy Sebatian of 6814 Revere thanked council and the mayor for the proclamation supporting the Parma City School District levy (Issue 49).
