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.

The alley between Washington and Lincoln and 11th and 12th is filled with trash, including tires. I believe this is city property? Not sure if the residents or city are responsible for it.

The Herald-Times threw sample newspapers all over the Westpointe neighborhood (Larkspur and Woodhill). Many of these houses are vacant rentals and the sample newspapers are trashing up the neighborhood.
Please have the Herald-Times come and pick up there samples they littered everywhere that no one asked for. We already have enough problems with trash in this neighborhood.

Old IUCU drive thru lanes at Whitehall Plaza on west 3rd Street.. The building has tarps covering the front and wind damage has town those off and exposed pipes, graffiti, hanging boards, and water damage. This is an eyesore, dangerous and is not safe to walk or drive by... There are swinging boards and I have picked up several boards with nails in them and placed in the flowerbed.

Sidewalk along north side of 6th street between Lincoln and Grant is covered in broken glass. Looks like it might have come from the pink rental house on the corner of 6th and lincoln. This seems real dangerous, especially with the amount of kids heading to the library here.

Overgrown bamboo at 1002 W 6 St and Elm bending into sidewalks and street obstructing traffic. Bird droppings covering the sidewalk. The invasive plant has encroached on neighboring property where we live at 1004, so we are having to engage removal services and eventually install impermeable barriers at our expense. The back yard of 1002 is overgrown also, feral cats, possum and a skunk have been sited or smelled in a fallen shed which has not been cleared out. The Elm Street side of 1002 is full of debris and overgrowth and there is an unattended stagnant water feature where we hear frogs in the summer (which do attract copperhead snakes).
Someone does seem to be inhabiting the house, though we know that the owner of the house does not reside in Indiana presently.

Trash overflowing from trash bins, and trash bins stored in inappropriate location (as in, not in front of the house).

Please refer to case #162913 regarding the man at house #2501 8th St. The trash problem has gotten worse in the past two months, and it looks like his car has had multiple fender-benders. Is there a way to get him some help?

This house has been neglected for at least the two years that I have been in the area. There is a tree branch that has fallen into the roof, causing a hole. The branch has been there for over a year and the whole has gotten bigger. The frame of the house near the front window looks 'broken.' It looks like the house is falling to the side. The lawn is completely overgrown. It has had zero attention in two years (plus?). It is out of control.
There is a van parked at the house. Every now and then the van will be moved from the driveway to the street in front of the house, but it seems like for the most part the house is abandoned. Sometimes some rather shady people come and go from that area but I don't know if they actually go into the house or not.
