For two weeks now, the only dumpster at Town and Country, managed by Distinct Management, has been stuffed and overflowing. The only time in those two weeks that the trash has been removed was this Monday, and even then the debris surrounding the dumpster had been left to sit and rot. Cones had been placed to tell people to not put trash in front of the dumpster, and the signs were worn down in just a couple of days. Now the cones have been moved away and trash is now blocking the even the dumpster from being able to be emptied by the trash companies. This trash pile-up is attracting a large amount of pests and is making it hard for us to dispose of the waste in our own homes.

The managers at Distinct Management have been neglecting their responsibilities as landlords to maintain a clean environment and provide the necessary accommodations to facilitate proper disposal of waste by their residents. This picture was taken 24 July in the afternoon. The context of this picture is that the trash bin was stuffed by 15 July. By 17 July, it was overflowing. That entire week, there was not a single trash collection, and the waste piled up and piled up. The dumpster was finally cleared the morning of 24 July. In less than 4 hours, it went from empty to this state. This is also after I saw people sent by management to clean up the waste around the bin. The trash is only more built up today. There is only this small trash bin for over 50 units in this complex, and it is constantly overfilled. With move-out season, the problem is much worse. Please require them to add additional/larger waste disposal facilities.

The sidewalk on 7th street between Walnut and College is still covered in snow and ice. Most people are walking across the Taco Bell parking lot and cutting across the landscaping at One City Center in order to reach the One City Center building b/c that way is easier to walk on than the icy sidewalk. It would be greatly appreciated if the sidewalk could be cleared. the other sidewalks in this area are already clear and clean. Thank you!

This house appears abandoned. Last week the roof caved in over the covered front porch and it knocked the front storm door off. The brick is now falling down off the Chimney that is crumbling. The lawn was never moved last year either. Seems unsafe and is also unsightly.

There is an extension cord with lights being run across an alley to provide light to this illegally parked vagrant that is living in this RV. The extension cord is ran across the alley behind 1207 w cottage grove avenue. This is a fire hazard , a trip hazard and unsafe. I’m not sure what this vagrant is doing with his sewer and water. The alley runs west to east between Summit Street and Alexander Street and Cottage Grove and wedt 10th street. Thank you.

The property of 1208 S Woodlawn Ave contains Japanese Knotweed. Japanese Knotweed is a city-listed nuisance weed, and in the case of this property the growth is well over 8 inches (more like 5-10 feet) and is visibly spreading into adjacent properties to the west and north by rhizome. The Japanese Knotweed is also visibly growing into that house's siding and foundation. This is likely a rental house situation where the landlord is neglecting the landscaping.
