Sidewalk here needs resurfacing, it never recovered from at the damage done when the power line poles were put in
The sidewalk has big areas of lifting due to the tree the city planted. I'd like to be able to keep the tree and maybe the sidewalk can be "shaved" to make it smoother for walking.
I hope someone from the appropriate city department can help me with a tree issue on my neighbor's property that is endangering my home. Perhaps someone could contact them and request that they need to remove the tree or trim it. It is an investment property for them, which they do not live in, so they have not been keen on addressing it. I recently purchased this house at 1017 W Howe St. During the recent storms, one of the large silver maple trees at my other neighbor's property fell into my roof, destroying the back half of my home and causing extensive mold and flood damage. I am trying to address the issue with the trees now so this does not happen again to any of us. I only received half my claim amount from my insurance due to nonrecoverable depreciation and the deductible, which is only enough to replace the roof, though there has been extensive interior damage and flooding as well. Upon looking into the surrounding trees and contacting some folks about it, I have learned that my neighbors to the left of my house have been aware that their tree that is growing over my roof has extensive heart rot and is hazardous. The people who owned the home before them were landlords and were aware of the issue as well, but chose to sell the home when the tree destroyed their roof some years back, rather than cutting it down as needed, and it still hasn't been addressed. The people I purchased my home from said they had an arborist come do an examination and recommended that the tree needs to be removed, or at least trimmed back so it is not endangering my home should it fall, and it is likely to. I have also had multiple tree companies come do estimates for me regarding other tree work, given the damage that has occurred, as well as roofing contractors and chimney contractors. All of them say the tree is dangerous and needs to come down. I have included an image from the back of my home, and the tree in question here is the one on the right of the image.
I've reported this multiple times now over the past couple months. Sidewalk along North side of East Rogers is still overgrown with vegetation, including poison ivy. At this point this has been an issue all summer. Grounds crew were out mowing and cleaning up on south High recently, but they stopped short of cleaning this section up on Rogers. To clarify, this is the sidewalk/multiuse path that runs along the north side or Rogers Road, between High up to Winding Brook Circle.
This house has recently been rented. There is now a person that we believe has been living in their red truck outside the home. Now there is a small RV parked on the Larkspur Lane side of the street beside the same house with an extension cord coming from the house to the RV, which is directly in front of the red truck. This makes seeing around the RV and truck for other vehicles very difficult.
This home is a rental property. Whoever is renting it currently has their very large work truck parked on the street every day, which is very near the stop sign at Larkspur and Woodhill. The truck has leaked what looks like oil all over the street in front of the home. The truck makes viewing around it for oncoming traffic very difficult.
Two things: One) There is an encampment at 415 S Walnut (in front of iMechanic) that is growing and basically taking over the sidewalk at this point. Please remove them before this gets out of hand. Two) Can we please just add a dedicated category for reporting homeless and encampments on uReport. It is arguably the largest issue facing the city yet there is not a specific category to address it. Let's be honest and direct about the problem so we can actually address it.
I am a realtor with FC Tucker and I am trying to sell a house at the above address. There is a homeless camp in the back woods of this house. we had an accepted offer on the house until the people walked out into the backyard and saw the homeless encampment. It is virtually going to be impossible to sell a home that has a homeless encampment behind it. You will be hearing from me very frequently until this situation is resolved. Julie Davis FC Tucker
