Hello, I have concern about the back row of apartments at The Crossing on Pete Ellis. There is limited space (about 3 feet) between the wooden patio fences and forest area. People smoke and throw cigarettes over balconies. Maintenance workers also smoke during the day. Currently they are working on painting indoor at some apartments, painting outdoor hallways and working on patios. Could you please help ensure safety of the residents? Thank you.

Unusual smell in the neighborhood this evening. Smells like some sort of petroleum distillate (which is why we're concerned = flammable?). Noticed not long after a train passed by. Went back near the tracks and it is strong there, but still very evident out front, on the street. persistent for the past hour or so.

The Avenue refuses to fix their faulty fire alarm system and may be abusing it. Residents do not know if the alarms are real or not. This is resulting in people staying in their apartments when the alarm goes off. This is extremely dangerous and people’s lives may be at stake.
The Avenue is solely responsible for this mess

This apartment complex refuses to update their fire alarms. Residents are forced to wake up at 2 AM only to have a false alarm.
Lazy management refuses to fix it.

For the past three nights, someone is burning what smells like trash in the neighborhood. Definitely not woodsmoke. This morning at 3AM the smoke was so bad we had to close our windows. Would it be possible to have someone drive through or should I call dispatch when I smell it?

We recently moved in, and there is a cable (perhaps carrying power) that is wrapped around the tree in front of our house using a wire hanger. None of the utility companies we've contacted want to take responsibility for it. How do we determine the owner and get it removed?

Yet again tonight I could not sit on my porch because of the hazy of toxic smoke in The Near West side neighborhood. This has been an ongoing issue for the last year and a half at least. Someone is burning trash or plastic on the other side of the rail lines on empty property to the north of the B-line between Adams and where 8th St ends next to White Oak cemetery. The smoke drifts across the neighborhood. I know a neighbor reported it on Saturday night and the police went to check the site out. But it also happened Sunday and tonight. What can be done about it? Such unhealthy air.
