Couch left in front of 817 N. Washington St., plus piles of garbage already ripped open by raccoons alongside house. These items have been here for a couple of weeks and it appears that the tenants have moved out for the summer. I have photos of both but it appears it will only let me upload one, so I chose garbage. Couch is clearly visible to the street.
As of 5/8/17 one full garbage can remains uncollected from this Orion properties rental. This uncovered can has been on the street for at least 3 weeks and the collection crews continue to pass it by. Last week the garbage bags that were laying by the street were collected, but the full can was left. No action taken by the city for 3+ weeks. From the city website: "Do not place containers out more than 24 hours in advance and remove them from the curb on the same day as pick up. A violation may result in a fine up to $50. Each day a violation continues is a separate violation." This means Orion properties should be fined in excess of $1050.00.
Orion properties has left the garbage can on the curb for another full week. Who should these problems be reported to? This reporting platform is ineffective.
I'm contacting you because this morning at my residence, 213 N Grant St, we received a notice of violation for BMC 6.04.070. Before seeing this notice on our front door, my roommate found that someone had ripped open our trash bags and left that trash all over our yard. This is by far from the first time this has happened. Since August, we have had issues with people ripping open our trash. These people have become comfortable enough to leave their own trash in our yard, even including used needles. This situation has gotten out of hand. On this occasion they ripped open separate bags inside our trash bags that contained trash from our bathroom, leaving used feminine products strewn across our yard. The comment on our notice said to remove all trash from our yard. My roommates and I in between classes today, have been picking up this trash all morning. We will be contacting other departments because this issue of trespassing on our property has gotten out of hand, even after contacting law enforcement. I wanted to bring it to this department's attention that our house is not causing this mess.

The Park on Morton complex has a sidewalk from the northeast corner of the lot that leads down to College Avenue. Not only does this sidewalk not have lighting along it's path, but it is covered by debris which could cause injury. The last level of steps has tall grass that has not been cut (6 inches and growing), nor has the sidewalk been cleared of debris leading to College Avenue. Also, near the bottom of the steps there is a dead tree above it that come the next rain/storm could injure someone. The property management team seems to "forget" about the additional property they built on, which includes the hill behind the buildings and between the sidewalk and train tracks. If the city could please assist in having this area of the property maintained properly by the property owners, it is appreciated.
Lawn is getting long on alley side of property. James Ford
This house is notorious for looking crappy. The "lawn" is rarely cut/maintained. It is now beyond overgrown.
Lawn is overgrown. Several trees are dead.
