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!
There are 4 grade schoolers and a toddler living at 1402 W 8th. Several residents in Waterman push strollers. A blind man and his service dog walk to/from his home on West 8th. Drivers occasionally reach 50 mph on 8th street. A "slow children" sign might slow them down.
Following the fiber optic utility work done the week of July 23rd we are experiencing bubbling and slow drainage and back flow throughout our house. We have ran snakes through the drains and have found no blockages within our property.
A rubber boot is on the ground by the power pole. It appears to be an insulator.
Trash is littered all around yard again.
Dog tied 24/7 and no access to water.
Neighbor continually blocks alley way or also parks in grass . Creating a eye sore and makes it hard to get vehicles out of back shed . Her landlord had also recently told her she cannot park like this !
Re: #165767 metal trash cans and car tire are not on his private property, according to Street Department. Also, the City never gave up right of way to alley before Habitat Street was paved, but property owner converted area to private use. He did the same thing with the Indiana RR right-of-way, but the RR cleared all of his junk out. City code prohibits open containers and trash being scattered. City code prohibits cans left on City Streets.
SW corner of 8th and Hay. Sidewalk collapsed shortly after construction by City. People would rather walk in the street.
