See case #186558. Property is being gutted. No permit posted. Monroe County Building department says a permit, but does not appear to care to enforce their own rules and issue a stop work order until permit is obtained. If the property owners are friends with the inspectors, do they get special treatment?

See case #188200. The section of the retaining wall along Lincoln is getting worse and it looks like it could fall any minute. Has anyone actually gone out to look at this? Why wait until it collapses before doing something about it?

Our neighbors who live at 526 N Lincoln street have had trash piling up around their trash cans for atleast a month and have yet to take their trash out to the curb on trash day. The trash is now spilling out into our yard and is starting to smell. Their back porch is also filled with empty boxes and more trash bags that have yet to be taken out as well.

The occupants of this property store their several trash and recycling bins facing S Walnut St. At any given time, numerous pieces of trash litter the ground in front of the home, the parking area, and the alley. Their bins are often knocked over or overflowing. The trash has begun encroaching on the grounds of our office, which neighbors this home to the north. Thank you for your help.

I submitted a complaint on March 11, 2022 regarding this property's trash issue. This item was assigned to Rob Council as Case #179224. Rob quickly responded, and from what I understand, he gave violation notices to all units in this property. Rob told us to keep an eye on the issue and reach back out if it persisted. As you can see in the photo provided, there is still a problem. This property's trash bins have been on the curb for multiple days. There are trash bags and loose garbage littering their parking area and along S Walnut St. One of the bins has dangerously fallen into the street. We are hoping further actions can be taken by the City to rectify this situation. Thank you for your time and efforts.
