The owner/tenant of the address 1428 W 6th Street has been keeping a lot of trash that the city isn't picking up. The trash is still there on the sidewalk and making it dangerous for my old mother to walk. She was about to trip the other day. There are plumbing pipes, carpet, and what not on the Sidewalk. Either ask the City to remove that trash or ask the concerned person to take care of the trash. It has been over a month that the trash is still there. There are also kids that walk on the sidewalk.
The residence in 1428 has left trash for the summer and the Sanitation did not pick up. It's been at this location since June 2025.

For over a month there has been what appears to be excessive trash along the driveway.
Large pile of mulch has been in the front yard along the street for several months, weeds and mold are growing in the pile. This occurs yearly.
This building has had a rat infestation for the past 10 years. The building is managed by Granite Student Living. There are bait traps placed around the building but these have not been helping. The rats are coming into the house, they are in the walls, and they are even entering living spaces through holes in the floor and holes in cabinets. The rat population at this location is growing due to the condition of the dumpster on site (see attached photo). The dumpster sits open with no lid, is often overflowing, and sits inside a wooden structure that the rats are using to climb up and into the dumpster. The house itself has not been completely sealed up from the outside to take away access points either. Additionally, there is no lighting in the back parking lot between the house and the dumpster, which creates an environment for rats to thrive, and also presents a safety concern for tenants. Granite has been made aware of these concerns but they have already stated "there are no plans to change lighting or the trash situation." Please have this matter looked into.
Trash and recycling bins have been at the road since at least this past Monday (5 days ago), probably since Sunday (6 days ago).
City should provide dumpsters in neighborhood for students during the month of August as they have excess trash. This is done in West Lafayette for Purdue students. Why not here?
Trash hasn’t been picked up for two weeks as resident doesn’t understand what is trash and what is recycling. Trash bags are not closed.
