Upholstered furniture littering front yard
Pile of trash bags lying on the ground against building for weeks. SE corner of building. Rats have been seen digging through it.
See case #186719. Trash is still there a week later (stuffed in a cardboard box, and still easily accessible by rodents), and the furniture remains where it has been in the front "yard" for the last five months.
Trash bins on sidewalk
Tenants storing trash bins on sidewalk
Trash bins on sidewalk. Tenants have been asked to remove them already, but they dismissively laughed and walked away.

On the south side of E Cottage Grove, between numbers 714 and 712, there is poison ivy (among the other vines) on a tree on private property not too far from the sidewalk. The house in the photo is 712, but upon looking at the maps and street view, I think the tree is on the 714 property. I figure I can leave that to you to figure out officially.
All the light posts along E Cottage Grove Ave stretching from the start of the road near Woodlawn Ave to Indiana Ave the light posts are defective radiating a blue/purple light that is not safe when it’s a block from a big ten campus. It actually makes it more eerie and more difficult to see when walking at night. Please replace these immediately, it’s a safety hazard.
