I took this iPhone photo Friday night, as discreetly as I could, before it got completely dark. I count six vehicles on the grass in the backyard. If you zoom in, you can see the bent metal (above the burgundy car) where the back roof has partially collapsed. There is also a large tree growing through the left side of the collapsed roof (not pictured). This house is uninhabitable. Several neighbors, myself included, believe there is no running water since one of the tenants urinates on the lawn. I’m shocked that the roof hasn’t completely caved in. Someone is going to get hurt if this isn’t addressed and fixed.
After reporting several urgent issues to maintenance Tenant was under the impression that his until would be inspected during the 3 day code inspection dates stated by management however no repairs have been made. Maintenance entered but never returned. For over a year I have reported my toilet and shower bubbling up waste that spills over into closet and connecting rooms. I have also reported several times that my light switches electrocuted my son and that several electronics have been short circuited due likely to unstable flowing electricity caused by water damage in the walls. This also has caused my lights to surge and my over range to fluctuate in temperature. My home floods multiple times a week which has caused the carpet to mildew and mold. Living with these issues have caused respiratory infections for myself and kids.
The main electric wire from the pole to this house has been hanging low for nearly a full year after a limb fell on the wire and pulled the wire holder attachment anchor out of the house structure. We (Chickering Rentals) own and manage a rental next to this property at 1006 e 1st, and the electric wire for 1002 e 1st is hanging low enough to touch in our back yard and creating a hazard. I alerted Duke and they informed me that they cannot do anything to re-hang the wire until the property owner at 1002 e 1st re-mounts the wire holder anchor, or installs new service mast. I attempted to reach out to the owner of 1002 e 1st to ask them to make the necessary repair and was unsuccessful. Not sure if the city can do anything about this to help. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks, Justin

Hi my name is Micah vessely I am a student athlete here at IU playing baseball. I recently signed a lease at Vivo living which is managed by granite student living. I went to granite and grabbed everything I needed from them to go check out my apartment before moving in to make sure it was cleaned and ready to move in. I walked into the building and was immediately disgusted by the smell of smoke and the amount of bugs that were in the entry of the place. That led me to thinking about my room and how that would look if the entry was bad with bugs. I then go up to my room at 217 and walked in and the bugs were all over the place. There was probably 100+ bugs in that room alone. They were both alive and dead. I was ready to throw up when I saw that. Nobody wants to live in a place that is full of bugs it’s disgusting and makes you not want to stay there. So I reported it to the maintenance of Granite and to the management of them as well. They claim they reconditioned the place after the last person moved out which was on 7-14-25. That is a lie because when I talked to the manger at granite, she said nobody has been into that unit to do anything to it. This place was a dump and not what they said I was getting in the pictures and the lease. I paid 299 dollars in fees to have the place reconditioned and it feels as if I just got scammed out of that money. I then asked to be moved to a different unit and they were willing to do that for me which was nice, but I went to the unit they moved me to which was 329 and it was the same situation. The bugs were everywhere and the smell of smoke was just as bad. This is not a place anybody should be living in and I am requesting and inspection to be done in hopes of not having to live in a place that will put my health at risk. As a student athlete, I need to be healthy to participate in schooling and sports to perform at my best and this place feels like I will not be able to prioritize that. I have plenty of evidence of the bugs in each room 217 and 329 and signs of no smoking at or in the building. I need an inspection so I can get out of this disgusting place! Thank you!
