Our neighbors have had a trailer of junk/trash in the front yard for weeks and it's attracting rats in our neighborhood.
Hoarder lives here. His house is so full he cannot open the garage. He can barely open his front door. The clutter is spilling into the driveway and lawn. Two vehicles in the drive are as full as possible with stuff.
Large (4foot long) rocks collapsed onto sidewalk
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.
717 North Maple Street - long abandoned and neglected house, glass in windows is now broken, making it easy for people to get in - possibility of it becoming a drug house (note: map address is wrong, couldn't get it exact)
Exposed garbage, rats and other animals opening bags of garbage at 710 E. Cottage Grove, which is next to a state-licensed day care facility. Also, speeding traffice on E. Cottage Grove, no sidewalk crossing or slow speed or children playing signs at this intersection.
High levels of black mold in buildings at springmill apartment complex (specifically the first building with apartments 1-12) The property has been notified but has not responded or offered to clean up the problems. The problem has been a reoccurring one after the property previously cleaned up mold.
The leasing office and pool building of Woodbridge Apartments has restrooms you can get trapped in. There are two restrooms, one mens and one womens, that connect to the exterior (on the pool side) and the interior (on the leasing office side). During normal business hours you can easily enter and exit the restrooms without a key from the interior, leasing office, side. You can also enter the restroom without a key from the pool side, but in order to return to the pool you must use a key that tenants have been given. This creates an environment you can get trapped in. Once the office is closed, it is impossible to leave the restroom through the door that is normally unlocked during the day. If you accidentally enter from the pool side without having a key, once the door closes you'll be trapped until someone finds you. Surely this is unsafe and not up to code. I'm reporting this anonymously as I am a tenant and do not want to cause trouble with the landlord. Thanks for your time.
A large front window on this home has been busted. This makes Grant Street Inn guests and people in the neighborhood feel unsafe.
