Trash bins on sidewalk
The property at 312 N. Washington St. has had bags of trash in its front yard, plus in tree, for weeks now. The bags are ripping open and sending trash flying. There is what I like to call the Trash Christmas Tree by the sidewalk, a large branch filled with trash.
302 east 7th street - mountain of trash piled up in backyard; beer cans and trash strewn about yard.
There is trash, appliances, toys, an RV full of items never used and a van that is packed with trash bags, among other things. If this isn't hoarding, it is close to it. I've complained numerous times through the years and nothing really gets done. They cover it with tarps and that's about it. I'd love to see this property cleaned and kept clean. It is an eye sore and it is bringing my property value down. I couldn't sell my property right now because no on wants to live next to that! I don't have a picture, but you can look at the satellite picture on Google Maps and see most of it. I can take a pic if necessary.
There are a lot of broken items or items that are NEVER used in the side yard and the back yard. This property is an eye sore and brings all of the surrounding property values down. The RV that sits in the drive way has not moved in FIVE+ years and is FULL of stored items.
Trash is littered all around yard again.
I reported this problem on 7/25/24 and this was the response: "working with a third party contractor to schedule and abatement." Does it really take this long to take care of this problem?! It is now 9/13 and the problem has worsened yet again, and they have added two small Kroger shopping carts to the yard. I am sure city officials would love for this to be their neighbor! Please get this property cleaned up!
