Derelict house. Looks abandoned. Front door hanging open. Yard is overgrown.
There is a low hanging power line over our driveway. The power line is low enough where it blocks people from walking into our backyard. We believe that this is extremely dangerous for people who will walk into our backyard and near our driveway. We are renters and found the power line like this when we moved in a couple weeks ago.
A few of the capstones on the retaining wall out front are precariously hanging close to the edge as a result of long-term, hydrological processes. They look like they are about to fall, especially if someone happens to sit on the wall at that place. Owner of this property is the same as 322 E. 12th, the one with the dangerous sidewalk. He is an out-of-state, absentee landlord who doesn't care about the neighborhood or safety in general. If he is going to be required to fix the sidewalk on 12th, please also require him to attend to this retaining wall. One of the capstones has already fallen and broken. Someone just picked it up off the sidewalk and placed it back on top of the wall without mortar.
