I am trying to find information regarding Jeff Jones rentals on Chris Lane. It is my understanding that his rental privileges have been revoked in the city. My street has 5 of his rentals I believe. It was also my understanding that when the current leases expire on the remaining rentals that he can no longer rent these properties? Is it available to the public of when the current leases expire? Today I will be going to the justice building to file a protector order against one of the renters at his property at 1025 Chris Ln. The city police, state police and animal welfare have all been to this residence in the last few months. The other day city police had to assist in an eviction from that property of a someone they sub-leased too? We can't even tell who actually lives there at this point. That was a 2 day ordeal of listening the parties cursing each other out and valuable police time monitoring the situation. We had complained to them via a note I left them about their barking dogs. They leave them penned up on their tiny back deck and they constantly bark. I had to call animal welfare on them previously because their dogs were on their roof and crying to get down. They got so angry they threatened me and said if they catch me off my property they were going to beat me up. We called the police at that time because for fear of this. The policeman said we should file a protective order which I will be doing this morning . My wife is petrified since they cursed her out and called her a Karen. After this altercation the renters decided to get their 4 wheeler out and run up and down the street at high rate of speed and do burnouts in the cul de sac. Couple weeks before this the state police were there because the police said they reported a gun was stolen from their house. AT that time they told the police to look at our ring camera to help investigators. We need to see light at the end of the tunnel. We are so upset and fear for our safety that we don't want to stay in our house as an owner. I would be glad to meet with someone- including the Mayor to discuss this matter. We are not the only neighbors on this street that are upset.

There is an abandoned lot that I have to walk through at times and this has progressively gotten worse. There is excessive trash, over growth, unhoused persons running in and out of the building, sleeping loitering on this lot. I spoke to a gentleman that parked a camper there and he stated he paid for camper parking on a website called neighbor.com This lot/building is run down, trashed and poses a hazard/safety issues to other surrounding businesses and homes not to mention the trash that is being thrown into and around businesses there.

September 3, 2025 To the City Council, I am writing as a resident and concerned neighbor regarding the property at 2212 S Belhaven Court. Since Friday, August 29, the owners pulled all their belongings out of the garage and left them sitting on the driveway and even out onto the public sidewalk. Among the items are an old water heater and a refrigerator, left sitting there unsecured, along with various other household clutter. It has now been several days, and nothing has been done. The sidewalk is blocked, and frankly, it looks terrible for the neighborhood. Years ago, folks in Sycamore Knolls had the pride and courtesy to keep their property in order and not let things spill out into public space. It’s disheartening to see that kind of respect for neighbors and community slipping away. I urge the city to look into this matter and see that these items are removed promptly. The sooner the better, for the safety of children walking by, and for the good of the community as a whole. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, A concerned neighbor

Hi, I'm reaching out today because this house continously blocks the only street we have to get in or out. There's junk sitting on the side of the road that's been there for a few months. The circle part is wood and metal thats been sitting there for a month if not longer. The whole place looks like a junk yard. They really need to clean it up and move all the junk blocking the alley way and stop parking on both sides of the road going down Hopewell St. Thank you!

There is a utility pole on the east side of my lot which has all kinds of wires, cables and other things running up and down the pole as well as some extending horizontally (which I assume carry power). There is a line of very tall pine trees next to the fence on the west side of the lot just east of me. A few weeks ago Duke Power trimmed the top portions of those trees, the portions surrounding two large cables which I believe carry power to the subdivision south of me. Duke did not trim the lower portions of the tall trees and now some of those lower branches have collapsed onto horizontal wires extending from the utility pole, wires underneath the two large cables. I think some of these wires are old telephone lines which are now not that far off the ground. I need to get the lower portions of those trees trimmed (the ones hanging over my property) but I'm not comfortable hiring tree trimmers to do the necessary work when there are all kinds of wires interspersed with the tree branches. I got a referral from Duke for a contractor who can figure out what all the lines are for and take down the ones which are inactive such as old telephone wires. However, the Duke contractor said the City needs to look at this first to see what, if anything, the City needs to do before the Duke contractor does any work. City, can you help me here? There is some urgency here as these lower branches keep collapsing and anyone on the ground can reach wires attached to the utility pole.
