The Area of S-Bells St is managed and owned by the Housing Authority of the City of Garden Heights, which is in charge of managing and regulating the allocation of housing to economically vulnerable families, as well as carrying out remodeling or construction on the site.

Historically, the population of S-Bells St has always been predominantly Latino, however, in recent decades, the increase in Hispanic Americans in the area is evident, along with the demographic changes that have occurred in Garden Heights. This transition has occurred peacefully for the most part, however there have also been conflicts of racial origin during the coexistence of both populations. To this day, the Latino population continues to decline in number according to the latest censuses by the Garden heights Government Delinquency, crime and insecurity in the area. From 2015 onwards, there was a drop in insecurity and the annual homicide rate within the sector. Accompanied by community services and government support, the situation appeared to improve within the S-Bell St area. In fact, from 2015 to 2018, no murders related to gang violence, drug disputes or street violence were reported in the area. "It's really amazing to think that there are kids who have been in S-Bells St for the last three years and they can tell you, 'I've never seen a murder.' They were the statements of Sergeant Phil Emad in this regard. However, since 2019, the increase in insecurity has been witnessed again in the area. The robberies, thefts, violence in the streets, prostitution and drug trafficking in the area increased markedly. Several local media reported this during those years, evidencing the abandonment that was lived in the place. S-Bells St is recognized in Garden Heights suburbs for being the area in which a gang with affiliation to THV known as Trigga Happy Vagos, or THV, resides. However, thanks to a joint effort on the part of the Garden Heights Department, the Division of Gangs and Narcotics, and Community Services grants to the local population, tranquility seems to return somewhat in the area.
