LOCH RAVEN SPOTLIGHT
The Loch Raven Improvement Association, Inc. wishes to recognize our
youngest community volunteer.
Miss Myleigh recently assisted with the distribution of door hangers (with Ms. Brenda) for our community celebration, and assisted with our 2022 Fall Clean-up. She is eagerly looking forward to our next event!
When not assisting the LRIA, she can be found studying, riding her scooter with friends, and playing with her IPad.
Congratulations, Myleigh, on being named
Loch Raven's Spotlight Recipient.
We appreciate your Community Service!!!

Community Housing Inspection Updates
The Loch Raven Improvement Association Housing and Sanitation Committee conducted our annual, community-wide inspection of all 1200 homes within the LRIA catchment area on June 25th, 2022. Results of that inspection were then forwarded to Code Enforcement officials for follow-up.
Not only does 108 violations indicate that many residents need to be more mindful of property upkeep,
but it also indicates that continual monitoring of our community is a warranted
course of action toward ensuring that our neighborhood remains safe, clean, and strong.
Residents are highly encouraged to maintain your property in a sanitary manner, and to be fully aware that non-compliance for issues such as tall grass and weeds exceeding 8 inches, trash & litter, bulk trash, unkempt yards, structural deficiencies, and derelict vehicles could result in violation notices or citations being issued, or liens being placed against your property.
Illegal Vehicle Sideshows
Incidents of aggressive driving, street racing, and spinning wheels have noticeably increased in Baltimore City, and have now been observed in our Loch Raven neighborhood. These so-called "sideshows" are defined as illegal gatherings in which drivers take over intersections and city streets to do stunts with their cars, including burnouts and doughnuts. The activity is both reckless and dangerous to both participants and spectators, and is an ever-present threat to significant property damage.
If you observe this illegal practice in the Loch Raven community, please retain as much information as possible (make, model of car, color, tag number, participant info, etc.) and CALL 911. You may also forward this information, including photos and videos, to the LRIA for follow-up. This careless activity will not be tolerated in the Loch Raven neighborhood.
