527 N Prow Ave has sump pump draining into the road causing dangerous road condition when it turns to ice.
There is a window by the grass and the parking lot (on right side of building near the dumpsters/ally). There is tons of glass that is a hazard to my dog and others in the community who use this area to let their dogs go to the bathroom (there are at least 5 I know that use this space). The glass is very dangerous and has been ignored. There is also tons of trash in this grass left by workers fixing this building.
The house at 1415 W 11th st has been abandoned by the owner for months and is unsafe to the neighborhood. There are animals living inside and years worth of trash dumped behind the house. Toilets, tires, carpeting, insulation, etc. If the owner is not forced to remedy the situation he will leave it like this indefinitely. Please help!
The rear retaining wall of 705 w 13th Street is a hazard as it is soon to fall like the other piece of retaining wall that fell off. Please address this hazard that is seen every day by us dog walkers using the public ROW in the alley. That large piece of limestone could fall any second and land on something or someone and it is unfair that property owners are not held accountable for maintaining their property. This rental property was inspected recently, and even with hazardous sidewalks on property as well as hazardous retaining walls, it was approved as safe for being a rental. Nope. It is not safe.
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.
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)
I don't know if this is the right category for this. Nevertheless, the people at 777 North Oolitic Dr are building on to the back of their house and I don't think they have a permit for it. We already have wondered if there was a permit to build the house. Now this room is being built by the Dad of the family and no permit is posted. Please check into this asap. The new construction is behind the house and the address is 777 N. Oolitic Dr, not 801. Your GPS won't let me tag it.
The shared-detached garage between 806 and 810 N. Lincoln is in a severe state of deterioration.
Construction going on in back yard. No permit posted in an obvious place. Large excavation done against foundation. No supports in place and pit is dark at night. Drunks could fall in at night.
