Trash:

Other: Hello, I’m not sure if we are reaching out out to the proper party. However, as a neighborhood, we have tried everything else that we can think of, including asking the neighbors nicely to deal with the issues at hand just for them to get worse. They’re trash is repeatedly overflowing all over the ground children leave trash scattered throughout in everyone’s yard never pick it up, the grass is so overgrown that we have literally witnessed crawling out of it. In regards to the trash it has now gotten so bad that you can literally see cockroaches, crawling all over the place, obviously making us fears as neighbors that it will become our problem as well. The trash literally gets so bad that the cans will be overflowing bags will untied on the ground , and even though the trash will still pick it up, it is frustrating because if ours is like that they will refuse to take it. Their recycling can will not able to be closed as well have actual trash bagged up and everything, they will still take it. Again as much as we appreciate it it’s not fair to the rest of us either. A few weeks ago they didn’t even put the trash out to the street. It was in the driveway and the trash man at the time actually put as much effort into stopping the truck physically getting out grabbing the trash cans, dumping them in the truck along with all of the excess bags that were on the ground again things that as neighbors if we want picked up, we have to call in notify you guys and potentially pay an additional fee. Again when it comes to the past issue that it is causing, it is greatly appreciated, but it leaves the rest of us very very frustrated. In regards to the pest and vermin were aware of where we can take the issue. The landlord clearly will not do anything about it. I don’t know the steps the city have taken if there have been any in regards to this, but clearly, even if they have the neighbors don’t take it serious or have any regards to the issues that they’re causing others. Some of us are highly allergic to things such as cockroaches, and. vermin droppings, therefore this is going beyond just becoming a nuisance. It is now becoming an actual health and hazard issue that we would all definitely like to be addressed as soon as possible. Again, we have tried to do it on our own. it doesn’t get anywhere, and at this point it leaves many of us and fear of retaliation because we just don’t know what else to do. There have been pictures upon pictures. I have been able to obtain a few myself that I will attach. I do apologize to some of them are in the dark but again we do live in fear of what would happen to the neighbors see that we are taking pictures of the property and you know trying to get something done about it. I’m also not sure how many pictures can be attached, so if I’m not able to upload more than one, I will do my best to upload the one that shows the severity of the situation. We do greatly appreciate your time reading this and looking into the issue as well. Thank you.
