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!

1000 West 6th Street

Case Date:

bamboo has again encroached on sidewalk. Weeds growing up in gaps on sidewalk make the sidewalk impassible. Pedestrians must walk in 6th Street to get past this house. Cars approaching the intersection on Elm Street must pull into the street to see if traffic is traveling east on 6th. This is a recurrent problem and was not handled by the city the last time I complained. This is plain and simple neglect.

This property immensely violates the City code regarding overgrowth of the yard and landscaping. In fact, the public sidewalk attached to this property that runs along 16th Street is practically impassable. There is barely a walkable path where the sidewalk should be.

Going towards the Mall, on E Second Street, past the intersection with Woodscrest, before the 'wavy wall' starts: trees encroaching on the sidewalk, walking there might be unpleasant because you may get hit in the face by branches.
