All 3 elevators are not working right now at the Standard Apartment complex. Is this legal? Is there anything the city can do to ensure that the elevators work properly? There have been ongoing issues with various elevators and now they’re all non/functional. Thank you!
At the intersection of Clark and 8th Street, there is a house that the owner has completely filled with old newspapers. Now that the house has no more space he is starting to put newspapers into the front yard. The owner has also put gas containers in front of the building. I am concerned that this is a big fire hazard.
I'm not sure which topic to put this under but "Hazards" seems appropriate given the current situation. Our Homeowners Association and property manager are having trouble keeping things under control during this pandemic. There have been resignations and no one seems to be in charge. Landscapers are seen milling about the buildings and grounds without notice or regard to social distancing, let along wearing any PPEs such as face masks. We understand more contractors are on the way, too, and there may be instances of price gauging. Neighbors in this tightly-packed community are understandably concerned for their health and safety. Help/advice is needed. Thank you.
A broken bridge railing has been left unrepaired for over 1 year. The railing was broken by a falling tree. The tree was eventually removed but the bridge railing remains damaged. This was a new fixture in recent years and it remains unfixed for over 1 year. Will this be repaired?
there's been a fire in this house and now it's not boarded up
Large (4foot long) rocks collapsed onto sidewalk
Retaining wall along alley is collapsing. House is close enough to wall that structural damage could occur. Property owner is the same as 427 N. Washington, which has also recently had a retaining wall collapse, but the owners just piled the cinder block back up and left it that way. That building is not so close to the wall as to create a hazardous situation - it is just an eyesore.
Large maple tree behind property (formally on 908 N. Walnut), has fallen into high voltage, primary distribution lines and snapped them. Tree remains suspended on remaining wires, broken ones are one the ground. All houses within a few blocks of this are now without electric service.
There is an electrical pole that is about to fall over, and it needs to be fixed so it doesn't fall onto the property
