Liz Ramos lives on a block that has five abandoned, and two occupied houses. Ramos lives in her rental home with three small children. I often see people who I belive are homeless going in the abandoned houses on my block, Ramos said. "I say stay inside and have dogs or a gun," Ramos said. "This is way too much for me." Pictured, Zamia Gholston (left), 4, and Jaylany Almonte, 9, play on their trampoline in front of Liz Ramos' house at the 900 block of Fourth Street on Jan. 29.
