1305 West 11th Street. This is not the first time I have reported this property. This property is absolutely stacked with with junk, construction debris, rubbish, and who knows what else. It is immoral and an obscenity for these people to disrespect their neighbors in this way. Speaking for myself, it detracts from the enjoyment and value of my own property right nearby. This property is zoned single family residence. I want it cleaned up. Since no code was enforced previously, allow me to remind you: 6.06.010 - Definitions. "Rubbish" means nonputrescible solid wastes consisting of both combustible and noncombustible wastes, such as paper, cardboard, tin cans, wood, glass, bedding, crockery, construction debris, and similar materials. 6.06.020 - Deposit of garbage. It is unlawful for any person to throw, place, or scatter any garbage, recyclable materials or yard waste over or upon any premises, street, alley, either public or private, or to suffer or permit any garbage, recyclable materials or yard waste to be placed or deposited on the premises owned, occupied or controlled by such person either with or without the intent to later remove, cover, or burn it. This provision shall not restrict the filling of low lands within the city with brick, stone, sand, gravel, cold ashes, or dirt after the appropriate permit has been obtained from the city engineering department. 6.06.110 - Violations. Violations of the provisions of this chapter are declared a PUBLIC NUISANCE. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. Everything stacked in the front and side yard of that property clearly fits into that definition and those violations. People are NOT allowed to stack up a bunch of old lumber, doors, windows, and other junk in their yards in the middle of the city! Period! Now, I EXPECT you to enforce these ordinances EQUALLY across the entire city. I remind you that lawsuits can be filed against "nuisance properties." In addition, I wish to point out that in other cities in similar situations, a writ of mandamus has been used to compel the city to enforce its ordinances. All I am asking for is some respect for the homeowners around that property.

304 Hopewell. Disabled cars sitting on Habitat St. one up on boards and tires being taken apart. Transmission etc. on MY street,Habitat Street. Piles of hoarded unusualness junk covered by tarps is not good enough. We and our neighbors are completely sick and tired of living next to such an eyesore. Do something real, have it all removed. No tarps anymore.

On Smith Rd. between Morningside Drive and the railroad overpass, there is lots of debris along the road, there were sandbags that were put out around the drains which have since then broken up and laying there probably preventing water from going down the drain. The weeds along the sidewalks on both sides need weedwhipped. It's very unsightly. Thanks.
