181 Carnegie crimewave User Rating 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jan 07, 2020) This town is deteriorating. The 181 Carnegie St address is a mother-led gang that has charming kids that lay in wait to remove my basement window casing, come in, rob us blind and do almost $25K in damages. He wanted to RENT A GUN for his dad. Taiwan of Delaware st, jamaster, ...Read More damarius white. I had given them ALL great CMas gifts. So, if I can afford to be so generous, I must be the one to rob of all our firearms then run thru Clairton for hours on NY day, drop stolen stuff all over, drop some off at their clubhouse four doors down protected by the owners. Go door to door and asked what happened to the homeowners. Walked away because One Family brought down the entire place in the six years they have been here. They probably are in on the Uni Mart armed robbery on State Street. Why is this allowed in PA? Beautiful homes inside abandoned because those kids will hurt you. Call the owners of Any home in Wilson part of Clairton. Do not blame the cops there. The cops practically have to live there and one on one them to protect the public . But no town has six spare cops. So until that house is vacant Do Not Come Here. Nobody can help us. Our mayor? The mayor gets $250/month! That is correct. Two-hundred and fifty dollars per month. I would not go in to sign checks for that pittance pay. We pay $50/month just to flush the toilet! Something about Clairton has to pay Bethel Park's sewage. Why? Who knows? Read Less
