Tenants dug up street sign post on SW corner of lot by street/alley and are now using it (along with another they swiped from somewhere) in the north yard as a support for party lights.
Correction: "SOUTH" side of house: Garbage piled up against *south* side of house along alley. Tenants moved out and left it for someone else to take care of.

See case #188409. It has been a week since that report, though the garbage has been there longer. How long do they have before another citation and another fine? Garbage piled up on south side of the house along the alley. They have not all moved out for the summer - lights on at night - so there is someone around who could be setting out the trash.
See case #188527. Garbage still piled up against house. Tenants do not seem to care about warnings or small fines. Can the fines be associated with their water bill so that it gets turned off if they do not pay?
On the north side of E Cottage Grove, just in front of number 711, there is poison ivy on the two trees in the tree plot.
SE corner of lot just west of alley and close to the sidewalk there is a medium-sized, water-meter pit that is uncovered. Lid is not around, apparently. Dangerous trip hazard at night, and animals could fall in.
homeless people are reported sleeping on the property.
Pothole in E 12th Street between N Park Ave and N Fess Ave.
Trash bins by street. Not clear if they belong to 713 or 705 N. Grant or both.
