Bags of trash accumulating on roof at 708 N Washington St
The property owner just south of me added a driveway ramp in September 2013 that completely prevents water runoff on the east side of N. Park Ridge Rd. (My property is #300). Water stands for weeks without draining. It is a traffic hazard - especially now when it completely freezes over. (I spoke with members of the street dept. who were out trying to clear the area during the last storm on Jan. 5/6. They told me they would report it to the dept.). It will be an even more severe health hazard in the spring/summer during mosquito breeding season. I understand the need for the ramp. However, could you persuade this resident to at least partially remove some of the ramp to allow water to effectively drain once again - please? I made a report on this issue in September 2013. According to this program the case was/is closed. However no action was taken and the situation persists.
Sidewalk is in need of repair. Multiple trip hazards. Major upheaval at tree sidewalk juncture. Curtesy of tree roots.
The house at 1413 w 11th has been vacant and uninhabitable since February. The owner has worked on it maybe two weeks out of that entire time. Six weeks ago he left with his windows and doors wide open and hasn't been back until today when he finally came back and shut the door and "mowed" the front lawn. The back is still overgrown. There are years worth of trash in the back of the property. It goes back 364' and there are tires, insulation boards, a toilet, carpeting, misc plastic debris, etc. all over the woods. There are also birds living in the roof (going in and out via the electrical box) and a groundhog going in and out of his crawlspace. Please do something about this! My property is 4' away from his house and I fear homeless people and drugs will be next. I fully anticipate the owner leaving the house in this continually deteriorating condition unless he is forced to remedy the situation.
Open burning - fire pit. I could see and smell a cloud of smoke covering my neighborhood 933 w. 6th
Several buildings vandalized with spray paint. Broken glass door.
Truck using bike lane as loading zone. I can only attach one photo
Bike racks in front of the moose and Silas Andrew are wiggling loose
Slide is still broken and the gate is also off. Very dangerous. I have been reporting this since mid April.
Thanks for repaving Azalea, but they are smoothing out the speed humps. If anything, we need more traffic calming, including humps at each island, since people fly through here, especially heading west. Smoothing out those humps is likely going to increase speeds even more in this stretch of Azalea, making our street dangerous.
