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.
Trash bins by street
Trash cans are being stored on the sidewalk.
Broken table (long, white, bent) sat in yard for months. A few weeks ago it was pushed over onto the sidewalk and it is still there.
Trash bins by street. Not clear if they belong to 713 or 705 N. Grant or both.
Trash piled up on south side of building along alley where wild animals can dig through it.
There is a utility pole at the SW corner of this property (by the alley) that is completely covered in vines, most, perhaps all of which are poison ivy. The vines are right next to the alley and tenant parking lot and are so high up (25+ feet) that the vine is going to seed. Is this the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, or do the utility companies maintain their poles? If the latter, do we have to wait the 5-year cycle for them to come by and do the trimming, or will they come by if someone requests it? And if so, how do we contact the utility which bears the responsibility?
Pothole in E 12th Street between N Park Ave and N Fess Ave.
homeless people are reported sleeping on the property.
On the north side of E Cottage Grove, just in front of number 711, there is poison ivy on the two trees in the tree plot.
