Unsafe Buildings

619 W Smith AVE

Case Date:
1/2/2017

I am not sure what the owner of this building has planned, but it seems there has seem some slow work done to the house since my husband and I have bought and renovated our home a year and a half ago. In this time, we have seen animals come and go from this abandoned house, seemingly homeless people come and go from the basement and the windows boarded up. This home is in utter disarray. With so many homes in the prospect hill area being renovated and maintaining the historical feel, this is one of the few if not the only home that is a major eye sore on our neighborhood. I am not sure if there can be anything done legally to motivate the owner to do renovations more quickly or to just tear it town. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated to address this problem. Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

Biking & Walking

1155 W 3rd ST

Case Date:
2/5/2017

The new construction has contributed significant debris to the east-bound bike lane. This occurs with many of our development projects: when the apartments on N. College just north of the railway overpass were being constructed, the muddy (erosive) runoff and rocks were obliterating the bike lane. And during the recent downtown construction of ONB, the bike lane was full of rocks and crud. The debris remains on the north side of 4th, between Lincoln and Grant, at the alleyway cut.

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

700 W Howe ST

Case Date:
2/5/2017

Bicycling on Howe, I was struck by the fact that both storm sewer grates appear to be obstructed by yard waste, which will become an issue when we get our spring rains before the thaw. I suspect that this is not an isolated experience.

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

606 W Howe ST

Case Date:
2/26/2017

Curb has disintegrated over the years. As people turn from Jackson st onto Smith Ave they are driving onto my property due to there being a lack of boundary between the road and my back yard. My property is 606 W. Howe Street and the issue is the the backyard where it boarders Smith Ave. My husband and I would really appreciate it if this curb could be rebuilt to prevent further damage. Thank you!

Traffic Signals

401 S Patterson DR

Case Date:
11/2/2015

This light turns red for the major thoroughfare (Patterson) almost every time I travel that road, despite the fact that there are NO cars coming from the other direction (Adams). I can't understand a light dedicated solely to a school and college apartments to the detriment of the main through traffic, especially when no one is sitting at the light. It needs to have road sensors, not be set to a timer.
