trap houses
Illegal dealing locations
A trap house is a building, typically a run-down residence, used for selling drugs—especially crack cocaine.
The term comes from trap, slang for a place where drugs are dealt.
Trap houses are associated with urban poverty and the risks of the drug trade: The cops raided a trap house on the corner.
The plural sometimes appears as a single concept describing the drug-dealing scene generally.
