Residents living in a North Belfast apartment block have said nothing is being done to address anti-social behaviour and crime at the property.
The flats on the Antrim Road have been a hotspot for anti-social behaviour over the past two years with residents complaining of drug use, dealing, constant partying and violent incidents.
They have said police are regularly at the property which has led to the arrest of a number of people.

Belfast Live has previously highlighted the issues at the Radius Housing Association building, however residents have said that six months later nothing has been done to address the issues and residents are "living in fear for their lives".
Residents have complained of people roaming the halls with knives, people breaking into apartments and fire alarms being set off in the middle of the night.
Used needles have also been found within the property and around the bin area.
Speaking to Belfast Live, one resident said: "How much longer is this going to carry on because people are terrified about what might happen next.
"There is a group...who are completely out of control, dealing drugs and regularly carrying knives. People are living in fear for their lives because of the constant problems taking place.
"We have been asking Radius to sort out the problems for two years and nothing has been done and the people are still...making our lives hell. If anything, over the past six months the issues at the apartments have escalated and we are all sick and tired of living like this."
A spokesperson for Radius Housing said: "We are committed to ensuring that all our tenants feel safe and secure in their own homes and take reports of any criminal activity and anti-social behaviour very seriously. We have engaged with the PSNI and tenants at this property since the events of last week and follow up on-site visits will be completed this week.
"We have also written to all tenants providing them with details on how they can report incidents of anti-social behaviour and we deal very firmly with such reports when we receive them."
