Please see the news report on nbcmiami.com on the above incident that happened April 5,2011 around 6:00 PM. As you are aware we as residents of Lawn Acres have raised the issue of homeless people living in the Mall and also of teenagers jumping over the perimeter wall several times at the Lawn Acres Civic Association bi-monthly meeting and nothing has been done. As the reporter Jeff Burnside has said, access to the inside of the buildings is very easy. The deteriorated Mall is in very dangerous condition and the security prevention standards are not in compliance with any city, county or safety codes. Please, take the necessary steps to enforce City Safety Code Standards to prevent these tragic accident, that we in Lawn Acres were trying to prevent and now we are facing. Lets pray for the young girl well being!Thank you,
