About 60 more abandoned and unsafe houses throughout camden are slated to come down. The mayor called the project the largest of its kind in the state of new jersey. And Officials Say a majority of the demolition work was done by local contractors, and helps the local economy. They are crumbling, leaning and completely out in the open. Dangerous properties all over philadelphia. And dozens are owned by the citys Public Housing authority. Tonight the nbc 10 investigators asked whats being done to keep neighbors safe, and get action for these local communities.

Theres a race going on right now. The worlds clean energy super powers either going to be germany, china, or us. And im going to make sure its us. From 500 million solar panels installed by the end of my first term, to precision manufacturing. Well beat the competition and create new high wage jobs. We can do this, millions of jobs right here in america. Thats my plan. More than 100 unsafe and dangerous properties all owned by the same Government Agency. This ones not even sealed. Reporter we found kids and families living next door to some of them. Going to be a major scandal if god forbid people get killed or seriously injured. Reporter now your nbc 10 investigators track down the owner and are promised action. We were promised action, and tonight we are getting it. Thats good. The city now taking steps to take down dozens of dangerous properties. This comes after our nbc 10 investigation. Heres Investigative Reporter mitch blocker. Reporter of the nearly 5,000 unsafe and dangerous homes in philadelphia, this is the one Raymond Johnson worries about. Well, i live next door. Reporter he says he had to board up the back door himself. Through the floor . You fall in the basement. Reporter in his basement, he showed us the shared foundation crumbling. You put all these boards up . Yeah. Reporter this building classified as unsafe. Its not the condition that makes it unique, its who owns it. Our investigation found no one owns more unsafe and imminently dangerous property in philadelphia than the citys own Public Housing authority. Its completely disintegrated. Across the city we visited more than a half dozen of the Public Housing authoritys home unsafe and dangerous. City records show the pha owns 99 unsafe properties. This is also owned by philadelphia Public Housing. Six more are what building inspectors called imminently dangerous. Three are here on oxford street. We saw kids playing next door to two of them. Its where we met the city controller. Imminently dangerous is the top of the list. Its something that they dont even know whats holding up the building anymore. Reporter he wants to get the owners to fix them. Does it surprise you this is owned by a Government Agency . Yeah. Reporter building records show a history of violations. In 2012, this home was cited for being vacant and unsealed. Its the same today. In 2011, this property was cited for fire damage. Still visible today. And next door to Raymond Johnsons house, the Housing Authoritys deteriorated roof was cited more than one year ago. They are the responsibility of the owner. In this case, the owner is pha. Reporter theyve tried repeatedly to get pha to secure and demolish its properties. Letters, detailed violations. In march they said this home was in imminent danger of collapse and you must repair or demolish it. Its still here. In june a violation about this home, also telling them its imminently dangerous. Still no action by pha. For weeks we tried to schedule an interview with the Public Housing ceo, calvin jeremiah. Pha told us it would get back to us, but never did. So we had to catch up with him at the july meeting. Cant you talk to us for just a second here. Weve been trying to schedule an interview for weeks. Ill talk to you. Reporter we did hang out and jeremiah agreed to an interview. 100 properties of 5,000. Thats not a big deal . It is a big deal. Taking the time to look at what weve done in the two years that ive been here. In ten years, this would have been a great story, five years ago. Reporter the Housing Authority has a strategy to unload or fix its unsafe and dangerous properties. It claims the plan has stabilized 21 of its 99 unsafe buildings since jeremiah took over two years ago. Weve rehabbed hundreds of properties just over the last year. Weve renovated over 1,000 properties. To do all of that work requires resources that are forever shrinking. Reporter jeremiah told us since hes been ceo, pha has auctioned more than 800 properties. The list that you give, well be acting on that. Reporter since we got involved, its not the Housing Authority that has taken action. Lni promised to tear down the dangerous properties by the end of the month. All the particular properties are moving towards being demolished in the relatively near future. Reporter in the meantime, Raymond Johnson says hell continue his makeshift repairs until pha takes care of the unsafe property next door. Ill do my part over here. But that part is theirs. Reporter lni staff told us beyond sending letters to pha, they also had conversations about tearing down all of that dangerous property. Lni said pha has not responded to any of the notices in writing. When lni tears down those homes, they will send pha the bill. It costs an average of 17,000 to demo a home. Mitch blocker, nbc 10 news. Nbc 10 was there today as lni began the process of getting those dangerous properties torn down. They took contractors to one of the locations on oxford street. Those contractors will then put in bids to tear it down. Even with all the clouds today, the temperature was above average. With the high humidity, it felt like 90 degrees. Even though its 85 degrees, with the clouds in philadelphia right now. 82 in the lehigh valley. You can see the clouds, pretty thick there. But were not really seeing much of anything on the radar. A lot of clouds reported at the moment. Lets see how the p. A. Suburbs area is fading. Chester county, montgomery county, bucks county, in those areas. West bradford township, euclin township, 83. North wales, and elroy, 84. New hope, 84. Newtown 83 degrees. Everybodys going to be hot tomorrow. And probably for the rest of the month. And that month is going to end up as the hottest august ever recorded in philadelphia. It looks like a pretty sure bet thats going to happen based on the forecast for the next week. You can see the clouds moving through. Nothing more than a sprinkle in a few spots. And things are really drying out. Central around western pennsylvania. So were pretty confident that it is going to be a sunny day tomorrow. Were going to be seeing the clouds tonight. But with the high humidity, temperatures not dropping very much. So by late tonight, were still in the upper 70s. By tomorrow morning, look at these temperatures. Even quakertown at 72. Very warm for this time of the year, because of the high humidity. Its going to be uncomfortable. And then getting steamy in the afternoon. 93 in philadelphia. 5 00. 90 in reading. 92 in trenton. Hot all over the area, even at the beaches. It wont be quite as hot at the shore over the weekend. Well get more of a sea breeze. 84 degrees for saturday. 81 on sunday. Suburbs, 89. 88. Close to 90 degrees. Little humid for this time of the year. But not as humid as tomorrow. You can check your own sevenday forecast at the bottom of the screen at any time, by the way. In the tropics, we continue to watch this system. And it is disorganized. All right . But you can see the swirl, right, with the satellite . All you need are thunderstorms around the center, and then youve got a chance of a system developing. Those thunderstorms are far away. That also means that the system tends to move straight to the west as opposed to northwest toward florida. So the possible paths, i think, are more likely in the southern track. Eventually going into the gulf of mexico. And thats when it has the best chance of really intensifying. Another area with some great weather this weekend in the poconos. 82 degrees. Sunshine both days. Its just going to be a beauty. And at the jersey shore, like i mentioned, its going to be hot tomorrow, but not as hot saturday and sunday. Even monday and tuesday are looking dry as well. All right, thanks for that, glenn. The water is gone in many areas, but the piles of debris keep getting higher and higher.

So why is Hillary Clinton accusing trump of going altright . The race for the white house got nastier today with Hillary Clinton and donald trump trading charges of bigotry. Steve handelsman has the story from washington. Reporter in nevada, Hillary Clinton charged donald trump of racism. Theres always been a paranoid fringe in our politics. A lot of it arising from racial resentment. But its never had the nominee of a major party stoking it, encouraging it, and giving it a National Mega phone until now. Reporter trump told supporters in New Hampshire clinton is talking about them. She lies. And she smears, and she paints decent americans, you, as racists. Reporter last night trump used the b word. Hillary clinton is a bigot. Reporter trump charged people of color, some Trump Supporters were shocked. Today he promised minorities jobs. The important part of the message for me is the africanamerican community. Because they have really been let down by Hillary Clinton and the democrats. Reporter its a reach out to white voters, too. There are republicans who dont want to vote for Hillary Clinton. But they dont want to vote for someone who they think might be a racist. Reporter trump even polled an audience on fox about his flipflop over immigration. What does not want them thrown out . Reporter trump openly looking for popular positions.

I never thought in a million years this could happen. I never thought in a million years my eyes could witness something so tragic. Looking at the souls leaving the bodies of individuals, looking at the killers machine gun throughout my right per rif yal, looking at the blood and debris covered on everyones faces, looking at the gunmans feet under the stall as he paces.

Up and down, emotional roller coaster. Just remembering the faces of certain people that are no longer here. Especially akira murray, who i was actually having fun with that night. And dancing with that person. Watching that person bleed. Thats a huge impact, you know, that changes your life forever. I just hope people remember that these were American People who were slain and killed. I think the world is really falling apart. Because people are so strong in their beliefs, that nobodys coming together to really see the human side of everything of human beings. The people at pulse nightclub, we were all human beings.

Reporter offering a savings card that will cover up to 300 of a customers copayment. Other lowincome customers could get the devices for free. But the company is not lowering the list price which is more than 600 for two devices. Thats a 400 price increase in eight years. The drug is a life saver for people with severe allergic reactions, especially children, and theres no allergic version. It was never intended that a consumer, that the patient would be paying list price. Never. The system wasnt built for that. Reporter the price hike has drawn outrage with users with high insurance deductibles or no insurance at all. Its also drawing attention from members of congress. There needs to be an investigation about why this price has risen 600 or 700 . And what should be done about the broader problem of exorbitant price increases.

Rain chances in philadelphia, practically nonexistent until tuesday. Dover, similar story. At the shore, even tuesday might not even be any significant chance for rain. Now, weve got a certainty that its going to feel hotter than the temperature tomorrow. Chestnut hill feeling like 96. In parts of delaware, harrington, 94, feeling like 104.
