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.
weeds overgrown, yard hasn't been touched, possible unsafe structure
A huge tree fell and smashed this trailer. The trailer has been previously condemmend but they were still living here. Tree has caused serious damage and is still on the trailer. Trailer now has no power, and is "poped open" from the tree.
Linda said that the house is falling apart. The siding is getting moldy, the fence is collapsing, the grass is very high, shrubbery is overgrown. Lots of rodents coming and going.
Steve said this house was very unsafe and has items such as siding and roofing falling off of it and he fears for the safety of neighborhood children. Also said there is a bad smell coming from this property.
I work for affordable fence ad last winter there was a deck being built at 2622 e spice wood crt. I noticed that the support beams were being set up using 4x4 posts. I told them at the time that I believed that 4x6 posts were as small as code allowed. The contractor scoffed at me and i just said "ok" and went back to work. Yesterday while doing an inspection on the fence I installed I saw that two elderly people live at the home and we're out on their deck. The deck (with them on the deck) was very rickety and moved way too much to be safe. I hate to see anyone getting one over on e elderly simply because they can. Their safety is a major issue and I can no longer be silent about the issue. Hopefully you can look into it promptly thank you! Anonymous
There are on average 6-7 cars parked in the grass and drive. There are piles of trash surrounding the trashcans in the front. They've made a DIY fence made of baby gates, random fences and items they've found. From what I understand they do not rent, but are possibly past an eviction notice. It's possible there is no running water so where are all these people going to the bathroom or water? There are dogs on the property. How are they getting water? The building is falling apart. The city needs to step in and help the owner with this situation. There have been multiple reports on this property, animal control has been at the property regularly.
