TUCSON, Ariz. — The Royal Palms Apartments complex in Midtown, near Speedway and Magnolia, has been burdened by crime in recent years.Neighbors in the adjacent Duffy neighborhood, as well as neighboring businesses, have previously shared concerns about the complex with KGUN 9.A current tenant, who wishes to stay anonymous because they fear retaliation, says the property hit a low point about a year ago. They called it a “shooting gallery,” for both guns and drugs.
Since then, they say, crime has quieted down and management has been responsive and making an effort to clean up the property.“We wanted 24/7 security, we wanted 24/7 on-site management. Instead of just letting the city be the security company by default,” Ward 6 city council member Steve Kozachik told KGUN.
Kozachik says improvements at Royal Palms came only after the city attorney threatened legal action to declare the property, and the Royal El Con complex under the same ownership, as “nuisance properties.” Arizona law states that could lead to “a restraining order to abate and prevent continuing or recurring criminal activity” or a “lien on the property.”
Desert Ventures Development and Management LLC lists both Royal Palms and Royal El Con, plus two more properties, for sale online. The listing was last updated this week. Gregory Stanton owns the properties. “Enough is enough, man,” said Kozachik. “It’s his obligation to manage those properties. Not the taxpayers of this community. And if he’s not gonna do it, then we’ll help him find somebody who will.”Ryan Fish is an anchor and reporter for KGUN 9 and comes to the Sonoran Desert from California’s Central Coast after working as a reporter, sports anchor and weather forecaster in Santa Barbara.
