FRAZER TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Representatives from the Allegheny County District Attorney’s office went to the Pittsburgh Mills Mall this month to assess the pot holes after community members and the Frazier Township Police expressed their safety concerns. In the past 4 years police say they’ve been called 38 times all for issues related to pot holes.
Giant pot holes scattered around nearly all the roads that surround the Frazier Township Mall.
“I’ve seen people lose the front of their cars on some of the pot holes,” said Jon Ott.
Jon Ott of West Deer says he got a flat tire just a few months ago here and it prompted him to try and take matters into his own hands.
He said, “I bought some cold patch, put it down.”
It’s that level of desperation that has prompted the Allegheny County District Attorney’s office to get involved.
Just this week, the DA’s office issued a search warrant for bank records from the owner of the Pittsburgh Mills Mall property also known as Namdar, LLC. According to the affidavit, Namdar, LLC receives thousands of dollars from nearby businesses to maintain the roads.
Ott continued, “All these people are paying rent to who owns the road and if I was them I wouldn’t pay my rent.”
The newest paperwork says bank records show businesses that surround the mall have paid thousands of dollars to the realty company. The fund is supposed to provide the money to patch up the holes, but that hasn’t been done.
“I think that they’re chasing a bunch of thieves. They bought the mall and then bankruptcy - paid hardly anything for it and now they’ve chased everybody away and they don’t care,” Ott said.
WPXI reached out to the realty company Namdar for comment but did not hear back.
