An abandoned car has been sitting in the backyard for several years.
An abandoned car has been sitting in the backyard for several years.
This orange neon was left in front of our house a week and a half ago. The owner said it would only be a couple of days but we haven’t seen or spoken to him since. We park our 2 vehicles in front of the house and this car is making it difficult.
People are sleeping/living in a van. Both non-working vehicles have been flagged for towing, but not towed. Also, suspected drug use going on inside the van.
Occupants have been erecting numerous structures made of pallets, wood, and tarps throughout their property for several weeks. The backyard seems completely full of these shanties. Their "construction" continues throughout much of the evening many days of the week, often extending to 10:00pm or later. The banging and power tool noise is a nuisance and the many structures they are creating seem very unsafe, especially for the children that are seen/heard playing there.
I cannot park in the alley because my neighbor, David Arthur, told me I'm not allowed to park next to my house in the lot. I have a disability and a handicapped parking pass. I am deaf, and I need access to parking at home. David's black truck is out of order and parked in the backyard. He has four vehicles, and I cannot park next to him. I was told the city owns the alley. I need to know what I need to do to be able to park in the alley.
Major sediment backup in under street culvert and culvert itself. Needs to be sucked up to allow for storm water flow
Overgrown trees at Fountain Drive and N Adams force pedestrians and kids on bikes into the street. The city trees need to be trimmed and trained.
Hoarding! Lots of items in the yard uncovered. This has been an eye-sore for YEARS. The city refuses to do anything about this. My property value has declined due to this unsightly issue. Not to mention the rodents, snakes and bugs that call this place a home. Shame on them and shame on the city for continually allowing this!
Can the City not require the Indiana Railroad to install some type of flashing light, larger warning sign or something to help prevent this from happening? There has been an increasing amount of trucks hitting this bridge, at least 6 in the past year that I'm aware of.
This is an unsightly and rodent haven, mess. How long are they going to be allowed to keep their yard like this?!
