There is a strong gas leak smell coming from the back of the house. We can smell it in adjacent yards and sometimes from the road. It was bad enough. We called the gas company who says that it is propane not natural gas and the smell was the leftover unburned gas coming out of the vents. This house should be using natural gas, so I believe that the furnace has been improperly modified and is using the wrong kind of gas. This is entirely without human supervision, because the owner does not live at this residence or in town.

Junk car disabled on Habitat Street. Hoarding of metal and useless junk, clothing strewn about along with open storage containers and items not for out door use between houses. How can the city let this kind of pollution go on for years ? So disgusting and disrespectful. John Hamilton should be ashamed for not doing something about the weak codes concerning this issue which is all too common in this town.The mayor himself said he would “look” into it years ago. There has been no change.

Lindbergh, between 11th St. and 17th St. has been left unfinished for years. It is a disaster to drive on, and the portion from 15th St to 17 St is basically a one-way lane as there isn't room for 2 cars using each lane. And now there is plant growth that is impeding the lane heading north to make the street even narrower. I see it is highlighted on the map of scheduled projects, but it isn't listed in the list for scheduled projects. It really feels like it has been forgotten. Please follow up on it and finish it.

The part of Lindbergh between 15th and 17th that has been left unfinished for a few years is becoming more treacherous. Only one lane is passable, but it is a two-lane road. There are deep potholes along the road and there is plant growth that needs to be cut so that the northbound lane is useable when there is a car in the southbound lane. Please fix the issues asap.

I thought there was a street tree category but I can't find it. Nevertheless, I need to report a hazardous dead Ash tree at the corner of my property at W. 11th St and N. Oolitic Dr. It's the tree right next to the Oolitic street sign. The specific address is 1510 W. 11th aka Forest Homes Addition Lot 48. The tree constantly drops extremely large limbs onto the property, the sidewalk right below, and into the edge of the street. Due to the size of the tree, the limbs wouldn't just leave a slight bruise if one fell on a person. Obviously, I understand the difficult situation we find ourselves in at the moment, but I'm hoping this tree can be removed asap. On Thurs, April 30, Bluestone will be removing a large dead tree on my property and I am also paying them to remove a couple large, dead branches from this Ash tree. That won't take care of what is higher up, though. Thank you.

It’s bad enough we have to pass a dumpster with the trash everywhere but in the dumpster at 1450 Willis Dr. It’s downright disrespectful to break glass outside my van tires and not even knock to let me know before I drive over it. I have it on camera the sanitation department just leaving broken glass on the ground around the back tires of my van. We pay way to much in taxes and rent to live in filth. It’s appalling that nothing gets done. I am considering showing the news the dumpster at 1450 and the trash riddled around 1600 n Willis if we can’t do better. Just bc we’re in a poor community doesn’t mean we deserve to live in garbage.

I appreciate you mowing so quickly after I called to mow. There is still overgrowth there. Furthermore, I have seen people coming in and out of the empty building that used to be the red cross. I don't think they are supposed to be there. Can you post a sign that says no trespassing? They broke a window within the last week to get in.

The grass is not being maintained at this location next to our property. The grass regularly reaches nearly 12 inches high before it is mowed maybe once a month.
