Attention Vacant Buildings' Owners!!!

In the past couple of years, transients, drug addicts, and homeless persons have been breaking into and making themselves at home in vacant buildings within Antonito. Antonito Mayor and Trustees would like owners to properly secure vacant buildings and post "No Trespassing" on vacant properties. Administrator Duran recommends that owners of vacant buildings take a proactive approach to trespassers. Report trespassing to the sheriff's department immediately. The first two months of 2025, three vacant buildings have been demolished due to a nuisance issue caused by the homeless. A fourth building will be demolished within a week due to illegal drug activities, unsafe living conditions, and a health hazard.
