There appears to be a small homeless camp in the backyard behind the unoccupied house with a tent and two abandoned vehicles. The house itself has been vacant for many years and none of the people staying there seem to be entering the home. A relative of the people who own the house, a man named Bob, began staying in the backyard over a year ago, but he has since left and other people are now staying there in his absence. Recently, neighbors have found human feces and needles in their yard nearby, creating sanitary concerns, as well as heard a woman yelling in what sounded like distress at night. Outreach to the family of the property owner has not been successful so far, so I’m hoping someone could please look into this situation. Thank you!

Homelessness issue constant at CVS. They take over parking lot adjacent area with picnic tables. As of late individuals with machete makes one feel unsafe going to and from vehicles. I cannot imagine being staff there at night. Not to mention the constant abuse of the store facilities and restrooms. Can you all do something? This corporate store is no help for employees, why isn’t the BPD or city helping this issue?

Encampment forming here. Several individuals, tents, trash etc.
Also can you please just make a dedicated category to report issues with the unhoused and encampments. It is allegedly a priority for this administration.

Excessive mosquitoes in the Green Acres Neighborhood. Hopefully not carrying West Nile Virus. If it would be possible to spray for mosquitoes in the green acres neighborhood that would be greatly appreciated.

We own a business building next to Kinser Flats. During covid, business slowed down and people had to work from home. The people that still went to the office became uncomfortable there due to the fighting next door, gun fire, profanity, vagrant people who would be passed out on the back deck, human waste, needles in the yard and on deck, random junk cars in the parking lot, zombie like people with camp sites set up in the yard and huge amounts of trash. We have had to replace Hvac (5 units) 2 times due to vandalism and had a concrete block thrown through a window, another window cracked, lots of broken outdoor furnishings, torn up masonry and lawn equipment stolen from shed that was also completely torn down. As a result of all of this, the value of the property has gone down significantly. We would like to get back into the building to do business and would like help/cooperation with the city and the people running Kinser Flats to make this possible. This building was a beautiful and safe place to work and do business before Kinser Flats and now it is unsafe and impossible upkeep.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!
