Our neighbors have had a trailer of junk/trash in the front yard for weeks and it's attracting rats in our neighborhood.
Our neighbors have had a trailer of junk/trash in the front yard for weeks and it's attracting rats in our neighborhood.
House has been abandoned for over a year. I am concerned that it may be overrun by vermin as it is covered by vines. The front door is periodically open and squatters may be living there.
I own the property located at 1005 N. Jackson St, 47404. Shortly after purchasing the property the house next door burned down. We felt very fortunate that our house was not damaged. The house was demolished, however, shortly after demolishing the house someone has set up a tent on the lot and multiple people have been seen using the tent. There is trash surrounding the tent. Though we have not seen a fire there is what appears to be a makeshift fire pit. We use this property as a short term rental and it has the proper permits. I am personally concerned about the safety of my wife who spends some of her days working on improvements within the property. Obviously concerned about the impact on our ability to rent the home with the above described situation. I'm not sure what can be done but after reviewing the code it does not seem like this fits the intended use of the property. I am also empathetic to the rise of homelessness in our community, but this is a residential neighborhood and for the safety of all community members something should be done. We dodged a serious issue when the house burnt down and worry we may not be so lucky if something happens again. Thanks for your attention to this matter, please reach out with any questions. Hoping this could be resolved amicably, not trying to get anyone in trouble.
Does anyone know what is going on at 4224 East Penn Ct? This is the home that had the terrible fire damage. It now appears that someone is living there, and are converting it into some sort of art installation/ haunted house. The entire front yard is fenced in, including the driveway. I checked GIS and a sale has not been made since Mark Harper purchased it in 2013. Any insight into what is going on down there would be great. I mean, the windows are all still boarded up. Is someone squatting there??
The rr trestle is crumbling at a much faster rate than before.
Above the entrance to Sycamore Village there is a silver wire hanging from one of the overhead utility lines that is quite low.
Homeless encampment
I’ve been complaining to the property manager for over a year now about the cracks and mold in my apartment and nothing is being done about it. I keep on being told that the cracks throughout my apartment and separation of my wall and floor are from the building settling. These buildings are several decades old and I don’t understand how multiple cracks in the walls, cement block walls on the second story, and floor are separating this drastically after so many years of the building being here. And the mold has been getting worse and worse in my apartment. The most they did was spray mold spray in 2 of my vents. They established there was a moisture problem and didn’t fix it properly and I believe that there is mold in my vents and in the wood rot in my bathroom. Me and my son are constantly sick in home because of the mold. There is mold perpetually in my toilet, my tub, the vents, maintenance found mold in my cub area and drawers and there’s even mold on my smoke detectors.
Cambridge Square Apartment bldg303 unit 313. Manager Diane Cook rented me an apartment which had bed bugs. She knew of these conditions and denied numerous current and past residents treatment for what is infecting our apartments. Then she routinely blames clients to get them evicted which she is currently trying to do to me!
My smoke detector has went off for weeks. After notifying a staff office member she was very dismissive and rude about it. And it's still not fixed and worries me. Clogged sink. Light bulbs in bathroom and microwave over light. Bathroom has mold. Black mold. Smoke detector hanging from my son's room by wire and they never sent maint. Drugs and needles (what I believe must have been drugs) many times in the hallways staircases and elevator. Used condom wrappers in hallways and staircases.
