Quality of Life issues
- Drunk and Disorderly conduct
- Overnight vandalism to gardens & planters in front of homes & businesses
- Urination & vomit in doorways
- Excessive noise
- Speeding cars.
We encourage everyone to call 911 to report these problems. In Boston, 911 is our only link to the police, so do not feel guilty about calling 911 to report non emergencies. In fact, their first question will be "is this an emergency" and you can answer 'no'.
When you call 911 to report these types of crimes, they probably won't send someone out unless it's a slow night, but the call and address will get logged. The police do look at these logs and notice if trends or upswings in crime are happening, and make themselves more visible in the area. If you really don't want to make the police call, you can let us know via an email and we'll pass it on.

National Night Out
The main city event for National Night out (Tonight, Aug 7) is out at Franklin Park – not near the South End this year. But I just got an email from councilor Yoon’s office which lists the following NNO events. The one at Castle Square looks to be a big event and very kid friendly!
· South End Cook out 6 P.M.- 430 Columbus Ave, South End
· South End Block Party 5 P.M.- Village Court Parking Lot inside Castle Square Apartments, South End
· Lower Chandler Street Block Party 6 P.M. - corner of Chandler and St. Charles, South End
