Large number of siding boards falling off the building or broken and nails falling out. Building 10 but also several other building.
Several building have nails falling out of the siding along with rotten soffit and no gutters.
Lots of damaged and broken siding also rotten widow trim, building 16 along the parking lot
Glass front porch door hanging off hinges and is potential projectile with high winds/storms. Also porch roof has many loose shingles and gutters are hanging- again potential projectiles to nearby houses, businesses, street and pedestrians.
There are homeless people living in makeshift structures in the backyard of this property. There is trash everywhere. There are vehicles everywhere. This needed to be addressed immediately. I don't know if the home is abandoned or what is going on. You can see all of this from the b line trail.
A part of the old stone retaining wall on the Lincoln side of this lot is just about to collapse. It looks like it's leaning at a 46 degree angle. If anyone is sitting on it or just walking by when it does fall, someone is going to get sued.
The gutters and siding of the building are loose and falling off many building. The 545 South Park ridge building is completely unattached from the building causing a 3 story tall drainpipe to swing in slight wind. This is a hazard for anyone walking near the building as it could fall or fly off at any moment. Several other buildings have broken siding that causes nails to fall across the sidewalk and parking lots. This is a hazard!!!!
Windows in all dorm rooms across IU are bolted shut and I can't see how this is anything less than a major fire safety hazard.
House is unsecured and falling apart. No one appears to live there.
The tree in front of the house is dead and a hazard. I tried to contact the homeowner's directly, but the phone number I had was incorrect. It fell on my house 2 years ago, it damaged their tenant's car. I'm worried that it will fall on my house again and may injure someone. This tree needs to be removed.
