Thank you OP and don’t get me wrong, I am very very sorry you are going thru this. I wish I had better advice, but I will agree with one poster here. I think you should call the Mayors office EVERY week and tell them you think they are cooking meth and the BCP and FD are not working together at all. I think they will rattle some cages. This must be so frightening to live next to!

Not to mention my family just threatened to kick us out if I call again because I am causing stress for calling and may incur fines? I never heard of that.

Email: SouthernDistrict@BaltimorePolice.org

Address: 10 Cherry Hill Road, Baltimore, MD 21225

Phone: 410.396.2499

Call and say there’s a house in your neighborhood where you’re worried about meth and have someone give you a call, or summarize documentation and email. Tell your family that you’ll worry about being fined if it happens and the ordinance isn’t against an address it’s against a person. They’ve drank the Stop Snitching kool-aid

Curtis Bay is not too far from where I live, we have a similar house here. The number of drug houses in this area really increased in the last two or three years. In my area it seems someone with ill intentions moves in as soon as a family moves out, and the new residents often sell drugs, offer drugs to passers by, create odd smells. I’ve never seen anything like it in all my years in the city.

I suggest you install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The squatters in the house near me did something to the hot water heater, I imagine to get hot water without paying the gas bill. The house immediately next door to them had problems with carbon monoxide and then the fire. The carbon monoxide gave the man, the one living immediately nextdoor, headaches. I remember he showed dysphasia last year, I was there when the police were dismissive to him because of his speech patterns. Carbon monoxide poisoning can alter your ability to form phrases and make it hard to make yourself understood. It’s a shame all of us recognized that but the police were indifferent. Please get a carbon monoxide detector just in case. Your story sounds so much like the beginning of the house on Saint Benedict Street near me. I wish you well, please keep writing updates. Stay safe.

Thank you, we have that kind of detector it never goes off and a air quality detector from Amazon. It alerts my phone if the air is bad.

I agree with the CO detector. I think it should be mentioned that CO detectors without displays typically don't go off until the concentration reaches 300ppm or 50ppm for 8 hours.

I keep a digital one next to my furnace and hot water heater that tells me the current PPM and peak PPM since it was reset last.

Are you close enough that it might be the trash incinerator?

I've lived here in curtis bay since 1998. I'm used to the smells, except the ones I smell from nextdoor.

Just checking, wasn't clear when you'd moved in, and most people outside south Baltimore don't seem to know we even have an incinerator.
