1201-1207 W 8th St

Case Date:
5/30/2012

Absentee owner of property to east of 1208 W. 8th St. seems to have abandoned yard again. Grass is over 2 feet tall, thick dirt from construction is all over the sidewalk, and my landlord and I have been cutting back the bushes/part of the lawn so that they don't completely block the sidewalk. I can barely get my son's stroller through and the mud is extremely slippery after a hard rain. Our yard also has a major chigger infestation from the owner only mowing his lawn two or three times a year in previous years so that I can't even take my toddler outside to play without us both suffering from dozens of bites. Please help!

There are many pedestrians like myself who walk North Walnut under the railroad trestle just north of 13th Street. On the west side of Walnut, this is so overgrown with weeds (some nearly trees) it becomes difficult to safely navigate there. Who is responsible to maintain this problem? If it's the railroad, they should be fined - especially in the winter when snow is NEVER cleared. The weeds are a nasty sight, too. One more thing, what should we do when we see homeless people making their 'homes' under the bridge. I just came past there and a couple of scary guys (trolls??) were making themselves comfortable. I'm a middle-aged single woman w/o a car so I often have to go to CVS from my home at 11th and Walnut. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Alley between Washington and Lincoln off of First Street is totally overgrown, making it almost impossible to go from First to Wylie this way. My 90 year old parents live at First and Washington and we use this alley!

The house at 800 S. Fess Ave. has the most overgrown backyard in the area. 5 foot tall weeds, scrap lumber, stacks of rocks and junk are in this yard, visible from the alley between Henderson and Fess off of First Street.

Sorry to complain but the weeds are so high next to the bridge over SR46 that you can't see to turn south on Arlington Rd from West Gourley Pike with out getting into the road. I travel this twice a day.

The front yard of 207 E. 12th is PERPETUALLY neglected. Right now it's the grass that's too long. In the winter it's the sidewalks covered with snow. Also, the front steps to the porch are at a dangerous angle and should be reset if this property is allowed to be rented. Lastly, there's a couch on the porch that should be removed.

the house on the NW corner of W.8th and Fairview has for years had invasive weeds in the front yard along with orange traffic cones from the city.I am not speaking about the sunflowers by the porch.After they purchased the house no attempt was made to cut down the overflow of vines/weeds. Please come to the Near WEst Side- so close to your offices.

644 N Morton ST

Case Date:
8/3/2015

The Park on Morton complex has a sidewalk from the northeast corner of the lot that leads down to College Avenue. Not only does this sidewalk not have lighting along it's path, but it is covered by debris which could cause injury. The last level of steps has tall grass that has not been cut (6 inches and growing), nor has the sidewalk been cleared of debris leading to College Avenue. Also, near the bottom of the steps there is a dead tree above it that come the next rain/storm could injure someone. The property management team seems to "forget" about the additional property they built on, which includes the hill behind the buildings and between the sidewalk and train tracks. If the city could please assist in having this area of the property maintained properly by the property owners, it is appreciated.

No Walnut St @ 12th and under the railroad bridge: Weeds are extremely overgrown and it's nearly impossible to walk on the sidewalk. This area is ALWAYS overlooked (snow in winter is treacherous!). There are many people who walk this stretch daily to get to the CVS store at 14th and Walnut. It's already a dangerous stretch as cars fly down that hill beginning at 11th St. Add to the mix, the 'trolls' (aka: homeless people) who 'live' under the bridge at times until the area is saturated with a strong urine stench. With all the traffic passing by this location daily, why can't this be better cared for - instead of an eyesore?!
