-This house/property has been unoccupied for the ENTIRE ~20 years that I have lived on the adjacent property at 2618 S Milton Dr. -The house is deteriorating. No maintenance has been done to the house for ~10 years. -The garage, as you can see from the pic, is dilapidated and likely on the verge of collapsing. -The back yard has been growing wild/is with no maintenance for ~10 years, with a large portion being a thicket of Locust and other small trees. -There are very large Silver Maple trees that are a significant hazard to neighboring properties. -The garage, area under the decaying deck, etc. are almost certainly providing shelter for rats, racoons, skunks, groundhogs, etc. The blight seen here is unacceptable in Broadview which has become more a very nice, presentable neighborhood in the 20 years I have lived here.
the gutter above my front door has been hanging off the building for weeks and my landlord has yet to fix it. it has been dropping nails and causes water to flood my entrance. the issue continues to worsen each day. it’s a large gutter and i’m afraid it could fall and hurt myself or my neighbors.

Rock wall has fallen into the sidewalk!
house is falling apart, no one lives there
House is abandoned and has signs on it from the city that it's inhabitable - it's possible there are squatters in the house and in the shed in the backyard. A chair showed up in the front. There are towels covering the windows. and Shed has been opened.
I moved out of this property in January due to unsafe living conditions. There was a cracked foundation and slumping overhang. Our former neighbors have since reported that no outdoor work was done to the home.
