This is not an overreach. 


This is  an abandoned building owned by investors that don't live in the US.  Those investors have FAILED to maintain the building and secure it.  

As a result, there are homeless camps taking refuge there.  So, the investors should be required to maintain it, including fire codes and providing heat to their inhabitants.  If they are going to welcome a homeless shelter, they absolutely need to bring their building to code like any other building does in Anchorage. 

And if APD or AFD needs to go there to deal with murders, arsons, drug overdoses, rapes, etc., they need to make sure first responders can enter their derelict building safely. 

I fully support our Mayor on this one! Go Ethan!
