The culvert by the driveway has corroded and there are sharp edges where someone might be walking. Is this a city maintenance issue?
Recently planted tree in city tree plot has died. Can it be replaced or removed?
We own a business building next to Kinser Flats. During covid, business slowed down and people had to work from home. The people that still went to the office became uncomfortable there due to the fighting next door, gun fire, profanity, vagrant people who would be passed out on the back deck, human waste, needles in the yard and on deck, random junk cars in the parking lot, zombie like people with camp sites set up in the yard and huge amounts of trash. We have had to replace Hvac (5 units) 2 times due to vandalism and had a concrete block thrown through a window, another window cracked, lots of broken outdoor furnishings, torn up masonry and lawn equipment stolen from shed that was also completely torn down. As a result of all of this, the value of the property has gone down significantly. We would like to get back into the building to do business and would like help/cooperation with the city and the people running Kinser Flats to make this possible. This building was a beautiful and safe place to work and do business before Kinser Flats and now it is unsafe and impossible upkeep. Please help!!!!!!!!!! Lucinda Farkas Owner, 441 W Gourley Pike
Transient man screaming and yelling outside City Hall first thing this morning (around 7AM timeframe). Individual was screaming about pointing guns at him and repeatedly talking to himself. Staff feel uncomfortable entering the building this early in the AM without other security measures in place. The individual then began approaching cars as more staff pulled up for the day to park and come inside City Hall. Again, it is uncomfortable as an individual to leave vehicle and walk alone with someone being unstable and yelling at you. Is there someone on site beginning around 7AM at all?
All the trees in the neighborhood are overgrown. All trees near sidewalks on Lismore and Marquis are overgrown in Crescent Pointe. The city has always trimmed the trees and they haven’t for a couple years. The trees against the road have always been the cities responsibility’s here. Thank you for your time!
Kinser Flats 1610 north Kinser Pike residents are trespassing on 441 West Gourley Pike. Leaving trash, needles, excrement' clothes. When asked to leave, they often get combative. It is not even safe to walk outside D/T needles, human waste and belligerent people. They have also done damage to the building. they have attempted to break in, cracking windows and tearing apart air conditioner units.
Unhoused individuals setting up tents and sleeping on this private property. this is an ongoing problem that has been reported to BPD and also Mayor's office.
Patterson Point Affordable Housing by Pivotal: Air conditioning in most (or all) apartments has not been working and they say repairs may not happen for up to 2 weeks. This is affecting the residents who are low-income seniors, many of whom are elderly with serious health problems. Management has provided fans and small portable ac units to some residents but this seems to be insufficient for the current weather conditions. This seems to be a dangerous situation for vulnerable citizens.
Large ailanthus. Sprouts coming up on neighboring lot to the west.
