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.
306 s Euclid apt 1&2 west side stair rotted. Very dangerous to use.
Garage is coming apart
believes property is abandoned and needs to be secured. Not a rental, just run down with "sketchy people popping out of it."
Old abandoned garage that is falling apart. This is on a rental property and the owners of this property have not touched the building in the 3 years we have lived next to them. There is a car behind the garage and another car in the garage. The building is falling apart and is a safety hazard to kids in the neighborhood. Many stray animals may be living in this structure, and have seen suspicious peoples coming from it from time to time as well (as if they are squatting there). Please help resolve this issue, as it is a huge danger to my family’s safety.
1209 West 11th Street This structure is a danger. Several windows are boarded up, the rotten original siding is showing in places, the house is surrounded by debris and the front porch is full of it. If someone is actually living in it, God help them. If someone is, HAND or someone needs to check on the people and the living situation, because they can't possibly be safe and it would be immoral to knowingly allow anyone to live in a house like that.
618 E. Atwater The roof has to be on the verge of collapse. If someone were to enter this structure, who knows what could happen to them. Beyond the fact that it is blight right in the middle of one of the most important parts of the city, the property and the structure is a danger to anyone near it. Please do something about this. It has been sitting like this entirely too long.
1212 W. Cottage Grove. There is a For Sale sign on the fence for this...house? Would an inspector *please* do a full inspection of this structure to see if it meets building codes?
