Occupants have been erecting numerous structures made of pallets, wood, and tarps throughout their property for several weeks. The backyard seems completely full of these shanties. Their "construction" continues throughout much of the evening many days of the week, often extending to 10:00pm or later. The banging and power tool noise is a nuisance and the many structures they are creating seem very unsafe, especially for the children that are seen/heard playing there.

A few of the capstones on the retaining wall out front are precariously hanging close to the edge as a result of long-term, hydrological processes. They look like they are about to fall, especially if someone happens to sit on the wall at that place. Owner of this property is the same as 322 E. 12th, the one with the dangerous sidewalk. He is an out-of-state, absentee landlord who doesn't care about the neighborhood or safety in general. If he is going to be required to fix the sidewalk on 12th, please also require him to attend to this retaining wall. One of the capstones has already fallen and broken. Someone just picked it up off the sidewalk and placed it back on top of the wall without mortar.

See case #188200. The section of the retaining wall along Lincoln is getting worse and it looks like it could fall any minute. Has anyone actually gone out to look at this? Why wait until it collapses before doing something about it?

Our neighbor's house is radiating terrible smells. I think they are stock piling trash or kitty litter yet again (see the history of this house). I saw a pile of something near their back door.

Tenant recycles for a living, but he stores stuff all over his front and side yards. He also relocates bicycles and scooters. It detracts from the beauty of the neighborhood.

Hi, I think this house is being used as a storage area for a construction business; it's listed as the address for N V Roofing and Restoration. The yard has contained trash, construction materials, and sometimes furniture for six to eight months. (I complained about trash at the curb a few months ago, and that trash was removed, but more appeared almost immediately. Right now there's trash at the curb, construction materials in the yard, and two mattresses outside.) I don't think anyone is actually living there, although people may stay the night from time to time. I'm concerned about the trash, but also about whether there is a zoning violation. This area appears to be zoned residential single-family, and it looks to me like this type of business use is not allowed. Thanks for any help you can provide. If I need to contact someone else about the apparent zoning violation, please let me know.
