There is an empty lot next to 1401 W. 6 Street that someone has been dumping bagged trash.
There is an empty lot next to 1401 W. 6 Street that someone has been dumping bagged trash.
The resident moved out several weeks ago and left 2 couches and a mattress piled up in the yard at 1406 South Madison.
a tarp over chimney
There are several items of trash strewn along the edge of West Bloomfield Road (westbound lane after landmark).
1350 W. 15th St. Aside from the so-called "wooded" part, the yard is overgrown with weeds and Asian Bush Honeysuckle
The neighbors are building up a cat litter pile again. The smell is terrible. They have a long history of doing this...
The house at 516 has left out trash and trash cans for two days. I reported under trash, but realized that might not be the correct place, so I am making another report here.
The next door neighbor has not cut his grass yet this year and has not cut it in previous years
I am reporting this property for the SECOND time. Nothing has changed - it has gotten worse. When reported previously, Jo Stong's response was, "Well, I drove by and didn't see anything that couldn't be outside." How ridiculous. This is NOT how the city ordinance qualifies debris. Ordinance 6.06.020 - Deposit of Garbage reads, "It is unlawful for any person to throw, place, or scatter any garbage, recyclable materials, or yard waste over or upon any premises, street, alley, either public or private, or to suffer or permit any garbage, recyclable materials or yard waste to be placed or deposited on the premises owned, occupied, or controlled by such person either with or without the intent to LATER REMOVE, COVER, OR BURN IT. Also, we know that there is an ordinance regarding construction debris. The fact is this home, which is zoned "single family home" is being used for storage only. If I read it correctly, there are no utilities currently turned on to the house. I own property in this area and I expect HAND to inform city ordinances just like they would in Hyde Park. It is not right that HAND allows blight to ruin the well-being and property rights of others.
Dear John, I'd like to draw your attention to something that's happening at Walnut Grove apartment complex south of town. Somebody has recently bought it, is raising the rents, and economically challenged people are having to move out with nowhere to go. I run a food pantry there once a month and have gotten to know many of the people who live there and they are angry and frightened. What's happening there may be legal, but is certainly unethical. I understand that you are interested in creating low income housing, but this is a situation where low income housing is being flipped for a profit and leaving many people literally out in the cold. Please tell me if I have any recourse to help in this situation. Many thanks, Mary Blizzard
