" you're just an absentee landlord." " They're this, that and chicken fat on First Street. It's awful," she said at Tuesday's meeting. " I don't know why somebody didn't pull the trigger or what the fear was to pull the trigger, but the pendulum has swung," she said. ", they're criminals, and they're doing drugs, prostitution, human trafficking, defecating, masturbating, having sex on the street. And the list goes on." "Given the neglect from much more than just these three properties, I think madam city attorney might be a little more busy" Santa Ana Police officers have been called to respond to 1,441 calls at two motels and a restaurant on East First Street for crimes like illicit drug sales, possessing meth and disorderly conduct in the past three years. It's an area that city council members—most of whom are in their second term—say has long been a problem and hot bed for drugs as other cities in Orange County convert problematic motels into affordable homes. Now after years of mounting complaints from residents, Santa Ana officials may soon crack down on what they say are "drug dens" at the Royal Roman Motel, the Royal Grand Inn and El Tapatio Restaurant on First Street. The moratorium in Stanton came in 2023 after over 3,000 police calls for service at seven motels in the city since 2019 for crimes like prostitution, drugs, robbery and assaults with deadly weapons. https://voiceo foc.org/2025/04/santa-ana-cracks-down-on-first-street-drug-dens-after-years-of-po lice-calls/ 1
