Tenants storing trash bins by street (11th Street side).
Tenants storing trash bins by street (11th Street side).
Garbage was picked up today but they only emptied the bins and left the ripped-open bags that were lying on the ground. Tenants have now moved out.
Loose bags of garbage outside 719 N. washington for the last couple of weeks.
Recycling bin sitting by street surrounded by bags of trash.
Retaining wall along alley is collapsing. House is close enough to wall that structural damage could occur. Property owner is the same as 427 N. Washington, which has also recently had a retaining wall collapse, but the owners just piled the cinder block back up and left it that way. That building is not so close to the wall as to create a hazardous situation - it is just an eyesore.
West end of the retaining wall on north side of the property (Cottage Grove side) has degraded so much so that the capstone is no longer supported by underlaying stone and could fail if any significant pressure is placed on it, such as someone sitting or stepping on it. It is adjacent to the former driveway.
