A large front window on this home has been busted. This makes Grant Street Inn guests and people in the neighborhood feel unsafe.

The leasing office and pool building of Woodbridge Apartments has restrooms you can get trapped in. There are two restrooms, one mens and one womens, that connect to the exterior (on the pool side) and the interior (on the leasing office side). During normal business hours you can easily enter and exit the restrooms without a key from the interior, leasing office, side. You can also enter the restroom without a key from the pool side, but in order to return to the pool you must use a key that tenants have been given. This creates an environment you can get trapped in. Once the office is closed, it is impossible to leave the restroom through the door that is normally unlocked during the day. If you accidentally enter from the pool side without having a key, once the door closes you'll be trapped until someone finds you. Surely this is unsafe and not up to code. I'm reporting this anonymously as I am a tenant and do not want to cause trouble with the landlord. Thanks for your time.
House and property presents unsafe conditions, including: 1) exterior paint chipping (hazardous to young children and pregnant women) 2) unstable stone wall along sidewalk 3) overgrown weeds 4) large tree overhanging neighboring house 5) deteriorating foundation 6) porch seems to be falling away from house 7) overgrown branches on electrical wire 8) deteriorating roof/shingles Example photo provided as attachment.
Retaining wall has collapsed. Property is eroding onto sidewalk.
Our neighbor's house is radiating terrible smells. I think they are stock piling trash or kitty litter yet again (see the history of this house). I saw a pile of something near their back door.
Recycling bin stored on sidewalk. Also, large amount of brush blocking sidewalk.
Tenant recycles for a living, but he stores stuff all over his front and side yards. He also relocates bicycles and scooters. It detracts from the beauty of the neighborhood.
Overflowing trash on drive off of 8th street behind property. Trash has not been taken out for three straight weeks.
Trash has not been taken out for awhile as I've noticed on my morning walks. Today, I noticed the trash has been picked through by an animal. I took a photo to upload, but I get an error message when trying to upload it.
Trash piled up AGAIN alongside alley, bags ripped open by animals, trash blowing onto neighboring properties.
