Three Problem Properties

Residents and police reports describe three apartment buildings at 568–580 Blue Hill Avenue in Dorchester as a center of persistent problems, including drug dealing, overdoses, violence, loud parties, stolen vehicles and unsafe sidewalks. The buildings, owned by the Stamatos family, account for nearly a quarter of Boston’s 14 designated “problem properties”; the city’s task force adds properties after reviewing at least four valid complaints within a year and can impose fines. The owner says management has taken steps to improve safety, while residents call for stronger enforcement and better living conditions.
