Crazy overgrown sidewalk and street signs.
Crazy overgrown sidewalk and street signs.
When we have a large rainfall, raw sewage bubbles out of my in-laws front yard. They are at the lowest point of the sanitary sewer line by the sewer lift pump. This only happens after a large rainfall. The issue is backflow from the sewer main. Their front yard clean out plug becomes the overflow valve for the neighborhood sanitary sewer. They have had their sewer line inspected and the issue is not a back-up from the house to the street. I walked through a stream of human waste and toilet paper that was bubbling up in their front yard and running down their driveway towards North Walnut this morning. There seems to be a communication between the storm and the sanitary sewers leading to a release of raw sewage in my in-laws front yard that poses a health risk. This has happened three times this spring and poses a health risk. This needs to be repaired correctly.
Water overflow underneath the townnhomes
Wooden Railroad tie is broken. Unsafe for cars driving over it. Could pop tire or ruin underside of a low riding car.
Squatters making quite a mess running what appears to be a junk business of sorts. Also, dumpster sitting in right of way.
The person at this house has had two snow plows stored on the street since winter. The one plow is fairly wide and it is a hazard with the cars parked on the other side of the road.
Please come and pave our ally! We cannot get in our out of our driveway without hitting the bottom of our cars on the road because of the big holes missing in front of our driveway. A while back some men came and scattered little bits of asphalt along the ally, which did nothing but make the whole ally worse. The entire ally needs repaved dinner than later because the lack of upkeep to the ally is causing damage to our cars. We are documenting all the damage that is being caused to our vehicles because of the negligence of the city to properly maintain the ally and we are also taking note to the fact that the first report we submitted only resulted in the men placing little bits of asphalt around the ally that has made the conditions worse AND the second report we have submitted is still currently open, no response has been submitted to us, and no repairs have been completed. I will continue to report these repairs being needed until the work is finished.
This time I have included a photo. This is how the sidewalk and gutter has been since I moved here a year ago. Disgusting. Note the cigarettes on the sidewalk as those are the ones thrown from the door with complete disregard for people walking in the public right of way. Previous Ureport is #175706. Trash: Other: The occupants of this house stand in the doorway smoking cigarettes and when they are done they throw them into the street. I have seen this many times and they take no caution about any pedestrians who are walking on a sidewalk right into the path of a flying lit cigarette. I do not feel comfortable approaching these people. Thank you for checking on this ongoing littering problem.
The garage belonging to 522 W. 4th Street--the garage that sits along Jackson St., has had mattresses/box springs piled against it for at least 6 weeks. There is also a pile of loose trash behind the garage that's been there for the same amount of time. That mess is an eyesore!!!
Drainage channel near 10th and Fairview is clogged with debris from recent flooding events. It needs to be dug out to allow water to drain and avoid breeding mosquitoes. Location is halfway between Fairview and the path connecting Butler Park to the B line.
