Drainage or Runoff

145 N Hillsdale DR

Case Date:
4/6/2024

Not sure this is city or homeowner issue. Pooling water in ROW. This is the downhill side of a driveway and instead of draining it fills up after each rain, since the roadside gutter has been filled in. There are other examples of this in Green Acres. Reporting it in case something can be done.

Blue and white 'S.O Industries Hiring' sign in the grass next to the road in front of the Tracks Music & Videos store at 415 E Kirkwood. Interestingly enough, they list the same phone number, 821-720-3055, as on the white and black Help Wanted signs, which are still all over town.

Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)

1305 1/2 W 11th ST

Case Date:
1/1/2020

1305 West 11th Street. This is not the first time I have reported this property. This property is absolutely stacked with with junk, construction debris, rubbish, and who knows what else. It is immoral and an obscenity for these people to disrespect their neighbors in this way. Speaking for myself, it detracts from the enjoyment and value of my own property right nearby. This property is zoned single family residence. I want it cleaned up. Since no code was enforced previously, allow me to remind you: 6.06.010 - Definitions. "Rubbish" means nonputrescible solid wastes consisting of both combustible and noncombustible wastes, such as paper, cardboard, tin cans, wood, glass, bedding, crockery, construction debris, and similar materials. 6.06.020 - Deposit of garbage. It is unlawful for any person to throw, place, or scatter any garbage, recyclable materials or yard waste over or upon any premises, street, alley, either public or private, or to suffer or permit any garbage, recyclable materials or yard waste to be placed or deposited on the premises owned, occupied or controlled by such person either with or without the intent to later remove, cover, or burn it. This provision shall not restrict the filling of low lands within the city with brick, stone, sand, gravel, cold ashes, or dirt after the appropriate permit has been obtained from the city engineering department. 6.06.110 - Violations. Violations of the provisions of this chapter are declared a PUBLIC NUISANCE. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. Everything stacked in the front and side yard of that property clearly fits into that definition and those violations. People are NOT allowed to stack up a bunch of old lumber, doors, windows, and other junk in their yards in the middle of the city! Period! Now, I EXPECT you to enforce these ordinances EQUALLY across the entire city. I remind you that lawsuits can be filed against "nuisance properties." In addition, I wish to point out that in other cities in similar situations, a writ of mandamus has been used to compel the city to enforce its ordinances. All I am asking for is some respect for the homeowners around that property.

Temporary Signage w/o permit

320 W 8th ST

Case Date:
1/2/2020

#170981 (Nov. 15, 2019) needs to be modified as follows: Help Wanted sign at the corner of Walker and W Second is gone; sign in the grass at the corner of Patterson and Second is still there, across from the Auto Glass store. Sign that was at the corner of W Second and Landmark is now lying flat in the grass in front of Sure Seal Contractors, no doubt to be put upright as soon as someone from that company spots it there.
