The contractor that did the construction in the basement did it without permits, it also violates the fire code. This facility treats disabled individuals struggling with mental health and addiction.
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.
Fire / Theft / Squatting hazard. Can we talk about this nuisance location? It has had two fires in 5 months, at an abandoned house known for homeless squatters that are proven bike thieves, in a residential neighborhood. The yard is full of stolen bicycle frames and stolen firewood. The owner is an elderly 76 YO woman who lives south of the city limits. Clearly this is an abandoned / squatter sitution that is a public hazard. What do we need to tolerate?
I believe it started night of Tues 3/29/22 or Wednesday 3/30/22. 1261 S Adams has a malfunctioning fire system. It will go off at random intervals for a couple minutes up to 15 minutes at a time at all hours. The building has been losing sleep and the apartment has failed to correct it as of 4/1/22 at 9:20pm. I've been trying to call the admin office of the fire dept all day with no luck. My concern is, is the fire system even working and what happens if there is a real fire. We have a questionable system the apartment complex cant give me an answer if its actually going to work in an emergency. I called their after hours maintenance guy last night and apparently he lives 30 minutes away. I do not feel this complex is on top of fire safety and is not putting the wellbeing of its residents first.
The company has been relocating people to desks in hallways/walkways. The building seems like too many people and that it’s a risk. Just wanted to report to make sure employees are safe.
POWER LINES HERE ARE SHORTED AND **THROWING SPARKS**. We have reported this to Duke and they have chosen to ignore it instead of restoring AC to Vinergar Hill houses.
Unattended smoldering cooking fire, presumably the morning after.
Burning a lot of wood in open fire outside.
I was shopping in the dollar tree store the other day and there was boxes all over the floor in the aisle ways. There was uboats also all over the store making it hard to shop. I passed by the stock room and the doors where propped open and I could see the boxies where stacked almost to the ceiling and where falling all over the place. I could see that the back door was also blocked by uboats and boxies.
There's several fallen trees and branches on the wires here
