The Woods at Latimer apartment complex has smoke detectors in units that are up to 10 years expired. Included photo are ones removed from our unit. Maintenance claims to only replace them when residents request, since "they still work" and "It's easier to leave old ones up than go into every unit and put new ones in". When batteries in these expired ones died, we alerted maintenance and they said to take them out and just "not start a fire" overnnight, as they would be out to replace them in the morning since it wasn't considered an emergency to not have working smoke detectors in the unit.
There are two large dead trees in front of 400 S. High Street. They have been dead for more than a year. They pose a fire hazard as well as a risk of injury and damage to property should they fall.
Tried to include photo but request hung up. 507 W. Dixie Street has entire yard (front and back) crammed with debris. HAND volunteers tried to clean it up but owner and homeless brought in more faster than they could get rid of it. House is fire hazzard due to being filled with debris and only front door usable. No other exit usable. Rats have been seen on property. Owner is Al Hines who is on psycho drugs for Schitsaphrena. this apears to be situation of Adult Protective Services Thank you
Reserve on Third property management is refusing to fix ovens that catch fire, fire alarms that continuously go off and just tell residents to hit the silence button and electric is coming and going - shorting out. This is after multiple complaints for almost 2 years. Particularly building 11 as I can not speak for all, but I feel that inspections need to happen for resident safety.
