In the alley between 909 and 911 S Madison St., a property owner (909) is running an electrical line (extension cord) from their home across the alley to send power to an above ground pool. The wiring lays across hot asphalt and is covered by old carpets. This is an unsafe method for provide electricity to a separate property, and poses risks of fire in the neighborhood.

I have detected ground fault issues in 7 of my 14 outlets in the residence, apartment 25. And I detected numerous ground fault issues in apartment 29 as well. My cat found this issue on the night of September 6 after scent spraying a power outlet. The breaker failed to prevent an overload, a fire started, and I had to manually throw the breaker myself to kill power to the malfunctioning outlet. I believe the landlord is cognizant of the issue as one of the 3 replaced outlets was never discussed as damaged or of issue.

Patterson Pointe Senior Residence is a smoke free building, however occupants of unit 410 have been smoking in their apartment since they moved in which was July 2024. The occupants are a man and woman, and they both smoke. I live on the same floor; and at time the hallway is foggy with smoke. It is a fire hazard...the management has been told at least 5 times since July, each time she said she talked to them. They have not stopped...The lease is clear that violation of the smoking policy will result in immediate eviction. Please help us with this problem...thank you
